may lead

to income tax

By David Blake, Economics Editor

' Public spending at £115bir
next year will fall as a share of
national output for . the first
rime since the Government
took office: In a statement'to
the Commons today the 'Chan¬
cellor is expected to say that
despite' various increases in
public spending the public sec¬
tor share of total o'upuc will
drop from 45 to 44 per cent. He
. will be vague on what his
means for his Budget next year,
though -the outcome - of - the

unemployed is a central theme
of the draft statement he wffl
deliver in the Cpmmons today.

With higher council rents,
prescription charges and
National Insurance contribu¬
tions- to announce he was
reported to be still undecided
about the' political cost of
'denying full inflation protec¬
tion to the unemployed, the
sick and others drawing short¬
term benefits.

significant tax aits in the

But the balance has been
achieved only by raising more

ants and the sick and by not

ployed for the effects of infla¬
tion.

This is how the package will
look; ...

15 to 20 per cent. This is be¬
cause of two things.: the rate
support grant is being cut for
England from 59 per cent this
year to 56 per cent of total
local authority spending.

Secondly, the councils are
being allowed to spend an
extra £l£bn above the total
announced at Budget time.

More than ' a third of this is
for local, authority subsidies on
transport, notably in London. .

Council rents: They will rise
more than the rate of infla-

defeated- when Mr Norman
Fowler, Secretary of State for
the Social Services, objected.
Those payments, which affect
about 40 per cent of all pay¬
ments, wall be folly price-
protected not year. But short¬
term benefits, raised last
month by 9 -per cent, will be
lower by about 2p in the pound
than the present rate of In¬
flation.

The cost would be £170m to
£180m, and having been com¬
pelled' already by his Cabinet
colleagues to increase next
year’s - public . expenditure by
some ESfi00m more than was
allowed for last March, Sir
Geoffrey was reluctant to yield
at further sum.

of the 3-9 per cent dial would

Shirley Williams back at ‘old men’s club’

A triumphant Mrs Shirley Williams
returning to Westminster yesterday
after nearly missing the train to
London, living up to'her reputation,
she climbed aboard the 09.05 Liver¬
pool to Euston express with less than
a minute to spare. Having won Crosby
for the Social Democratic Party and
Liberal Alliance, worried SDP offi¬
cials drew increasingly anxious as the
minutes ticked by and a Lime Street
rail official said : ** We are not hold¬

ing up this train for anyone ”. As she
tucked into a railway breakfast, Mrs
Williams confessed that she did not
fully relish the thought of her Com¬
mons comeback. “It’s an old man's
club and the sooner the place changes
the better,” she said.

“ t’m delighted to be going back
to do the job,” she added, “but I
won’t pretend the Commons is a club
I enjoy. Before I stood in the by-
election, I thought about it long and

hard and realized I had to go back
but I can’t pretend ro like it.

“ It’s terribly out-dated: there's
too much spare time boozing and too
many old men. We could do with
more women to put it into shape with
regular hours of 9 to 8. Having said
that, I like politics, I like by-elections.
I like campaigning and I like parry
work. I just don’t like the Commons.”

Reagan aide
cleared
on payment

From Nicholas Hirst
Washington, Dec 1

The American Justice Depart¬
ment today cleared Mr Richard
Alien, of breaking the law in
receiving $1,000 (£550) from
Japanese journalists.' But it is
not dear -whether he vriH. be
able to resume his post as the
President’s National Security
Adviser from which be volun¬
tarily stepped down at the
weekend.

Mr Edwin Meese, the White
House counsellor, said Mr Allen
would not necessarily return iF
cleared. He said tne decision
would influence..hjuct nor deter'
ttune the Issue*

Mr William French Smith,
the Attorney-General, has con¬
cluded that a special, pro¬
secutor should not be,
appointed to investigate tbe'
payment. A Justice Department
statement said: “ The depart¬
ment has not received or. dis¬
covered any specific informa¬
tion that Mr Allen vlokaed
federal criminal law.”

Mr Allen received the money
after helping to arrange - an
interview between Mrs Reagan
and a Japanese magazine. It
bad not been intended as a
gift to him and he had not
intended to keep it, the Justice
Deportment said. . .

It was unclear, however, the
department said, whether a
special prosecutor- should be
pointed to look into Mr
len’s receipt of two watches
and his disclosure that he
made a mistake when declaring
Ms financial affairs on taking
office earlier this year. Mr
Allen has- said he incorrectly
stated the date when he sold
his. consulting firm.

Last night President Reagan
was evasive when asked if Mr
Allen, would be staying on:

We3I . have to wait and see
the outcome of this ”, he said.
._. Tbe Justice Department said
it had. uaerviewed 36 people in
America and .Japan about tbe
payment. Mr Allen said he had
placed the money, given by tbe
Japanese as a “ thank you> for
the interview- with Mrs Reagan,
in a safe, intending to hand it
ro -the Treasury, but forgot
about it. The Japanese have
said the money was intended
For chmity.

The Justice Department said
there was no'evidence the cash
was intended for Mr Allen:
“In sum, when the uncontra¬
dicted facts ase analysed in the

context of possible applicable
criminal laws, it is clear there
was no criminal violation by
Allen regarding the 51,000”.
the statement said.

Mr Allen had not intended
to keep the money for his per¬
sonal use, according to the
statement. “Both Allen and
his secretary agree on Allen's
expressed ip tent 'to' turn the
money over through the proper
channels.”

Peace formula put to
BL union leaders

By David Felton and Clifford Webb

the month-long strike which
has dosed BL’s Longbridge fac¬
tory emerged last night after
a secret meeting between Sir
Michael Edwardes, BL chair¬
man, and Mr Mostyn Evans,
leader of the Transport and
General Workers’ •- Union
(TGWU).

The plan, which was com¬
municated to Midlands officials
of the union, calls for a return
to work under the status quo
to allow a four-week cooling
off period for -negotiations on

relaxation time..

“ I must emphasize, however,
that because of the total lack of
confidence in BL management
which exists at present, I do not
think that such a solution is .a
runner. We are deeply sus¬
picious Df management’s inten¬
tions,” he said.

The strike started after the
company proposed cutting the
52 minutes a day relaxation
time allowance to 40 minutes
to compensate for the introduc¬
tion of a 39-hour working week.
The last negotiating meeting
broke down when BL proposed
that...the 40-minute target

diction workers turned, up for proposed that our members

work yesterday. The company
said that the number officially
in dispute had risen from 2,200
on Monday to 4,000, but that
figure does not take account of
the _ further 5,000 who did not
cross picket lines yesterday.

Leaders of Midlands lorry
drivers pledged support for the
strikers and said that no de¬
liveries of materials will enter
the plant. Since the official
pickets were mounted by the
TGWU on Monday afternoon
no components have been de¬
livered and only a trickle of
engines and gear boxes have
left for the-Cowley plant, near
.Oxford.

Mr Brian Mathers, the
TXJWTrs senior official in the
Midlands, said the peace plan
had been sent by teleprinter to
the union’s Birmingham office.

should produce -as many cars
in 39 hours as they did . in-40
hours so that the company
would not suffer any losses.
This means ; that we would,
accept increased crack speeds.”

It is- thought likely that
union officials will meet BL
management in Birmingham to¬
day to discuss the plan. Mr
Terence Duffy, president of the
Amalgamated Union of Engin¬
eering Workers (AUEWi, the
secoud largest BL union, .was
not invited to yesterday’s talks
although the union was aware
they were taking place. The
AUEW executive decided
yesterday to pay strike pay to
its members in dispute.

Mr Dennis Mills, chairman
of the central union committee
representing 5.000 West Mid¬
land lorry drivers, said tbe
drivers would give, total
support to the BL strikers.

The 3,000 workers who
reported at Longbridge yester¬
day were employed mainly in
the engine, gearbox and
foundry areas.

Thatcherite economist
says he was wrong

By Melvyn Westlake

Dr Alan Budd, wbo together
with the Government’s chief
economist, Professor Terry
Burns, developed tbe economic
theories on which the Govern¬
ment has largely based its poli¬
cies during the last two years,
admits that a central part of
his theory, is wrong.

Delivering his recantation at
j seminar for economists in
London yesterday. Dr Budd
said that he no longer believed
that inflation could be brought
down reasonably quickly .by
allowing scerlurg’s exchange
rate to . rise in value against
Other currencies. He now
believes, that ihe Government
made a serious mistake last
year when it allowed tbe
exchange value of the pound
to surge upwards.

Dr Budd is director of the
Centre for Economic Forecast¬
ing at the London Business
School . which in the 1970s
developed* and elaborated a set
of theories known as “ inter¬
national monetarism”. Those

was aimed at bringing down
inflation, has also caused a
deep economic depression aud
a huge rise in the level of
unemployment.

Dr Budd has changed his
mind because ■ the economy
failed to behave last year in
the way that it should if his
theory _ had been correct.
According to tbe theory, last
year’s rise in the exchange rate
should have sharply reduced
Britain’s import costs. That, in
turn, should have brought
down inflation in other parts
of the economy because, the
argument went, world prices
are the main determinant of

prices in Britain when curren¬
cies float against each other.
But things did not turn out zbat
way.

Between the end of 1979 and
the end of 1980. the exchange
rate of the pound against a
basket of currencies rose about
13 per cent. At the same time,
average inflation in the main
industrialized countries aver-

theories bad a. .considerable 'aged about 12 per cent. But
influence on the thinking of prices in Britain rose bv no

sent Government appointed- Dr
Budd’s collaborator. Professor
Barns, to the post of chief
economic adviser and -bead of

vice.

In repudiating one- of tbe

That suggests that inter-
national competition has much
less effect on the prices of our
goods rfaan exponents of inter¬
national monetarism have
accepted until now.

A roy al

Parliamentary Correspondent

Senior politicians were last
night hauled unexpectedly
From a dinner being given by
the Speaker of the House of
Commons for the Prince and
Princess of Wales when Mr
Tam Daly el I, the unpredictable
Labour MP for West Lothian,
staged a one-man demonstra¬
tion and forced a division on
whether the House should
adjourn for the night.

Dinner-jacketed MPs flocked
back into the Chamber wonder¬
ing what was going on as the
division bells began ringing.

Mr Dalyell. who has been
battling on. behalf of factory
closures in his constituency,
suddenly arrived in the House
after discovering that the
scheduled, business of the day
.was folding up almost two
hours ahead of time. He deman¬
ded the right to initiate an¬
other debate.

Over ax the dinner in the
Speaker’s house, as the division
bells started clanging, there was
general consternation. The
Prime Minister, sitting next to
the royal couple, was not
amused. Mr Michael Cocks, the
Labour Chief Whip, rushed to
apologize to the Speaker. The
Speaker, in hi? turn, apologized
to the Prince and Princess.

But it was all in vain, as far
as Mr Dalyell was concerned.

SDP wks
control of
its first
council

By David Walker

The London borough of
Islington will next week-
become the first unit of
government in Britain to be
run by the Social Democratic
Party.* It is also rbe only-
borough all of whose Labour
MPs have abandoned the
party. Two, Mr Michael
O’Haltnran and Mr John Grant
have joined the SPP- Mr
George Cunningham has be¬
come an independent.

Tomorrow three members of
the council's ruling Labour
group will announce their
intention - to join the social
democrats, a formality that will
push the strength of the new-
party on the council to 26
against Labour’s 24 and the
Conservatives’ two.

At a special council meeting
next week, the social demo¬
crats will announce their
candidates for the leadership
and the key committee chair¬
manships.

At a meeting of Islington
Labour councillors yesterday
Mr David Drams, Mr
Christopher Prycc and Mr
William Moloney, members
respectively for the Finsbury,
St Peters and Holloway wards,
announced their plans.

They voted with their col¬
leagues at a council meeting,
but from tomorrow they
consider themselves free of
any obligations to the party
which nas run municipal
affairs in Islington almost
since local government in
London was reformed m the
early 1960s,

Twenty-two of the 23 social
democrats on the council
changed their party label from
Labour earlier this year; an¬
other was returned under
Social Democratic Party colours
at a by-election in September.

Their leader is tbe former
Labour leader, Mr Gerald
Southgate. By next week re is
likely to be running Islington
in tbe way he was as recently
as March when he was deposed
from within the Labour Party.

The man who succeeded him.
Mr Donald Hoodless, said last
night that an SDP-controiled
council threatened the standard
of services to the people. “I
shall be fascinated by what
they put in their manifesto for
the borough elections in May
next year”, he said. “The
issue between us is the quality
of local services.”

The new defectors to the
SDP formerly held responsible
positions in the borough’s
administration, implying mat
the new SDP council will not
be short of practical experi¬
ence. Mr Pryce was, until the
summer, chairman of the hous¬
ing committee ; Mr Hyams is
still responsible for .new-
economic development :n
Islington.

According to Mr Moloney a
distinguishing characteristic of
the SDP council will be ite
suspicion of the local authority
trade unions.

The defection to tbe SDP is
good news for Mr Michael
Heseltine, Secretary of State
for »he Environment. Under the
new party, Islington Council is
likely next year to set a_ rate
well within his guidelines

Air fares to

Economy fares to Hong¬

Retrial for
death
case driver

ive.

A- complaint about -news¬
paper headlines led yesterday
to a judge’s' ordering the
retrial of. a man who has
denied causing the death by
dangerous driving of Donald
Ranger, managing director of
the Heron -Motor
Corporation. :

Dismissing the jury on the
.second day: of the case at
Kingston Crown .. Court,
Surrey* Judge Rubin said of
newspaper coverage: “Some
of these reports contain
headlines of a very preju¬
dicial nature Hke ‘Death race’
and ‘Horror race 1 , ahhou
my personal view is that tl
js very much a borderline
case”. ' '•

Mr Barry Hudson, QC,
representing Ricardo di
Toxnmaso, aged 39, of Mul¬
berry Trees,’ Shepperton,
Middlesex, told . the judge
that reporting of the first day
of the trial was factually
correct,, but headlines de¬
scribing the way Mr Ranger
died had. been . emonv
dramatic, and Inaccurate.

He said: “The Doily Ex¬
press has. a dramatic headline
'Film chief accused over
l20mph race of death’. Apart
from the ARu? and the
Express. The Tunes has ‘Car
race ended in death*.

“There is an . even worse
headline In The.Siih on page
five describing a ( 120mph
horror . race’, which . goes
further than the ‘death race’
of the Express and the MaiL ”
Mr Hudson said he was
certain that the majority of
the jury would have read the
headlines which, because of
their emotive nature, bad
distorted the case. They
might .have discussed the
case with their spouses at the
breakfast table and “there
might be a gut reaction to
these headlines”..

The judge said that as it
was a short case, where such
things would remain fresh in
the memory he would order a
retrial “sometime next term
when memories of these
hadhnes have disappeared”.

Mr Di Tommaso had his
Unconditional bail renewed.

£3,000 for a
victim of
the Ripper

A woman who survived an
attack . by . the Yorkshire
Ripper was awarded £3,000
interim compensation by the
Criminal Injuries Compen¬
sation Board in Leeds yester¬
day.

Miss Marcella Claxton,
aged 25, of Sholebroke
Avenue,-Chapel town, Leeds,
was hit over the head with a
hammer eight or tune tunes
in May, 1976.

Her original application in
1978 was refused on the bads
of her way of life, and that
she had “dearly misled the
police and provoked the
attack”.

Her appeal against that
decision yesterday came after
the conviction of Peter
William' Sutcliffe, who
dered 13 - women

The hearing at Leeds Town
as held i

a spokesman for Miss CLax-

wards that the board had
upheld the appeal after
hearing fresh evidence and
argument, including evidence
from the officer who inter¬
viewed <Mr Sutcliffe, who
pleaded guilty to Miss C lax-
ton’s attempted murder.

that she was ever a prosti¬
tute, .said after yesterday’s
hearing: “I am happy with

That was - announced by
Chief Constable of Mersey¬
side, Mr Kenneth Dxford, at
a meeting of the county

police committee yesterday.

Mr Oxford-!? plan- in line
with suggestions . .in. the
Scarrnan.Commission- report
involves the creation of a
Toxteth section- of his force
under the command of
chief inspector, with police in
pairs patrolling on foot 24
bonrs a day, seven days a
week.

The policeman and police¬
women, who' will include
trained community .liaison
officers and plainclothes
detectives, posted to the neW
section wax remain- in ft .for
long periods to- m jiintai^
continuity. Mr Oxford sakL-
“I want to build thesori- of
rapport . of yester-year
between the policeman on the
beat and tbe community”-

“This will be real grass¬
roots policing; I hope to
make it ‘sacrosanct’' and none
of the officers involved will
be diverted unnecessarily to
other duties or. training
courses.”

- He said -that he hoped to
improve the status of the
policeman, on the' beat in
remtiting. advertising and
publicity. There was a tend¬
ency to debase that type of
work with- too many am¬
bitious young recruits want¬
ing quickly to become motor
cydists or detectives.

Lady Simey, chairman of
the committee, who had
differences with Mr Oxford,
promised the Chief Constable
of /her support and that’ of
the authority, ...... .. .

The .committee . also dis¬
rated. a report - on events
since the Toxteth riots of last
July ; in- the light - of the
Scannan report.

A resolution, carried . in
spite, of opposition from’.the
Conservative minority placed
on 'record; however, the
committee’s abhorrence of
tbe use in policing of any
form of paramilitary equip¬
ment, such as CS .gas, water
.cannon, or armoured vehicles
The resolution requested
.the Chief Constable to ensure
that it would never be
neccessary to have such
equipment deployed on Mer¬
seyside.

' Mr Oxford said' that was
asking for- .Utopia. “I go
along with abhorrence of the
use of such equipment, but I
have not got the sort crystal
ball to'be able to ensure that
it will never be needed again.

“I am not too sure either
whether it escalates-or con¬
tains street violence.” -

US inner cities
model for british

□ Difficult inner city areas
could be helped to revive by
development on the pattern
seen in some old cities in the
north east of the United
States, including the creation
of conference and exhibition
halls, leisure attractions,
speciality shopping, and the
conservation of -historical
buildings (Our Commercial
Editor writes).

That was urged yesterday
by Mr Michael Montague,
chairman of the English
Tourist Board in a plan put
to 15 top financial institution
managers and. bankers,., part
of- the. inner city advisory
task force set up by Mr
Michael Hesettine, Secretary

GLC blind to facts

By Frances Gibb

The Greater London Coim- keL, Lord Scarrnan, and Lord

Brandon sitting- as the Lords
Appellate Committee.

cil's decision to go ahead
with its cheaper fares scheme
in “deliberate defiance of the
facts”* was perverse' and
unlawful, Mr David Widdi-
corobe, QC,' told the Law
Lords yesterday.

Mr Widdicombe said that
thp council bad. asked its
officials to provide infor¬
mation on what the effects
might be of levying an extra
rate.to pay for a cut of one
quarter in Underground and
bus fares: ' *

The GLC is contesting a
Court of Appeal ruling which
upheld a claim by Bromley
that the council acted unlaw¬
fully in levying a 6.1p rate to
pay for a cut in fares under
its “Fares Fair” scheme
launched on October 4. The
Labour group was deter¬
mined to go ahead and stick
rigidly to its ’.policy, taking
not the slightest heed of. the
disadvantages, Mr Widdi¬
combe said.

Those-included the loss of
revenue involved, involving
the loss of a government
block grant as a penalty for
overspending, the fact that

Slimming
case doctor
accused

A woman’s addiction to a
slimming drug turned her
into an alcoholic, it was said
yesterday. The General Medi¬
cal Council's professional
conduct committee was told
that she also lost jobs, took
an overdose, lost her home,
and was convicted for shop¬
lifting because of the drug.

The committee was con-
sidering a charge of serious
professional misconduct
against Dr Zakaria
Mohammed Asfoury, whose
address was registered
Devonshire Place, West¬
minster. He. was alleged to
have abused his professional
position by supplying Dexam¬
phetamine repeatedly in
return for fees without
adequately examining the
patients, without making
inquiries about their physical
and mental health, or about
the effect on them of the
treatment.

Mr Stephen O’Malley, for
the council, said Mrs Sally
Langley, of King’s Hall Road,
Beckenham, Kent, lost four
and a half stone in six
months, but the treatment
was continued for five years

Mother and
son fined
for vice
conspiracy

The son ot Mrs Rosetta
Simpson went “from rags to
riches” in three years from
the proceeds of her huge

E rosiwtion racket, a court
eard yesterday.

Christopher Simpson let
his mother's massage agency
use his respectable businesses
as a front- He also obtained
suitable premises for her, the

court was told, interviewed
girls, and was responsible for
advertising the agency in
pornographic magazines.

Mr Lionel Lassman, for the

E rosecution, told Knights-
ridge Crown Court that in
1975 Mr Simpson was living
in a furnished room in Earls
Court paying £12 a week
rent. In 1979 he bought a
house in Stag Lane Buck-
hurst Hill. Essex, for £45,000.

“Christopher Simpson,
starting from mode.st means,
went from rags tn riches in
three years,” Mr Lassman
said.

Simpson, 29, of Old Mary-
lebone Road, Marylcbooc,
London, was fined £40,00(1
and ordered to pay £1,000
costs after he admitted con¬
spiring with his mother and
others to live on the immoral
earnings of prostitution. Mrs
Simpson, aged 54, of Grove
HOI, - Woodford, Ess sex, was
fined £5,000 and ordered to
pay £5,000 costs after she
was found guilty on Monday
of conspiring to control the
movements of prostitutes
The court heard that Mrs
Simpson's massage agency
employed 40 girls. They were
equipped with bleepers to
summon them to top hotels,
including the Savoy and the
Waldorf, at all hours.

Mr Lassman estimated that
the firm made £100,000 u year
profit from girls’ having
sexual intercourse with their
clients.

The women, aged between
23 and 33, came from all over
the world and most operated
under false names such as
Kitten, Angel, Mandy and
Lady Jane.

The ring, one of the largest
ever found in London, was
uncovered by the police when
they raided Mrs Simpson's
premises in 1979 after a two-
year investigation.

Mr Lassman said substan¬
tial receipts from prostitution
went into bank accounts Mr
Simpson had established.

He said cheques worth
£130,000 passed’ through be¬
longing to a bogus restaurant
company. The agency also
received big cash payments
which were absorbed into
other accounts.

At one stage the agenev
was using a credit card
facility for customers.

PLEDGE ON
DOCTORS’
HOURS

Dr Gerard Vaughan, Minis¬
ter for Health, last night
promised action to try to
reduce the risk to- patients
posed by hospital doctors*
working 100 hours or more a
week. He said his department
shared doctors’ concern
about excessive . hours and
was setting up-a conference
in February to discuss the
problem.

Junior hospital • doctors
welcomed Dr - Vaughan’s in¬
itiative, but made clear that
they frit the conference
should have been - called
sooner.

Dr Michael Rees,’ chai rman
of the British Medical Associ¬
ation’s hospital juniors, said:
“we are particularly con¬
cerned that there- should be
no undue delay in solving the
problems. We cannot afford
to. wait until February next
year to begin”.

Road safety improvements

Drop in number of road
deaths may continue

By Our Transport Correspondent

After announcing the low¬
est road casualty figures for
22 years, the Department of
Transport is hoping for a
further drop in deaths and
serious injuries as a result of
new safety legislation due
next year.

Last year, 6,010 people
were killed on the roads, the
fewest since 1958 when the
total was 5,970. Over the
same period, the volume of
traffic rose threefold.

Provisional figures for the
first quarter of this year
show a further drop of 8 per
cent in fatalities and a 6 per
cent fall in the number of
those seriously injured.

The most important effect
on casualties over the next
few years could come with
the introduction of the com¬
pulsory wearing of seat belts
far car drivers and front seat
passengers. That is expected
to become law by next
summer. The Government
has estimated that if the
“wearing rate” went up from
the present-32 per cent to 100
per cent^ 1,000 lives and
10,000 serious injuries could
be saved in a year. A
“wearing rate**'of 75 per cent
would save 650 lives.

The Department of Trans¬
port is also hoping to reverse
the upward trend in motor

cycle casualties, which is in
sharp contrast to the general
picture. All casualties have
fallen by 10 per cent over the

S ast decade, but motor cycle
eaths have risen by 50 per
cent.

In an attempt to reduce
motor cycle casualties, the
Government is introducing a

mac tune tnat a learner may
drive and restricting the time
period on provisional
licences.

Next year, too, the drink-
driving laws will be tightened
and the Government expects
that will have a deterrent
effect on potential violators.
Among the changes will be
the use of electronic breath
testing machines at police
stations in place of blood or
urine samples.

Britain already has one of
the best road casualty
records in Europe. Only
Norway and Sweden have
proportionately fewer road
deaths.

The worst year for road
ca usual ties in Britain wa s
1941, during the wartime
blackout, when 9,169 people
were lolled. The highest
figure in peacetime was 7,985
deaths in 1966.

Boys expelled in
drugs inquiry

Two senior boys at Bed¬
ford School, Bedfordshire,
have been expelled for selling
drugs to other pupils. Both
were questioned by drug
squad officers investigating
cannabis peddling.

Since the inquiry the bojrs
have been sent back to their
homes in Germany. A third
boy was expelled for posses¬
sing the drug, and a fourth
was expelled for unsatisfac¬
tory behaviour. _ including
possessing smoking equip¬
ment.

Bedford School, where
boarders pay £2,682 a year,
said the two boys sent to
Germany had been expelled
for obtaining and distributing
cannabis.

Policemen die
in car crash

Three policemen were kil¬
led in a car crash after
celebrating the birth of the
baby of one of them.

Four constables, all off-
duty, left a public house, on
Monday night, with the
father. Police Constable Ian
Foulger, aged 26, driving. ■
After dropping off one of
the constables, the car collid¬
ed with a a stationary
breakdown vehicle on the
Bromham to Beford road in
Bedfordshire.

The dead men were Police
Constable Foulger, of Mow¬
bray Close, Bedford, Ian
Purme, aged 23, of Arundel
Drive, Bedford, and Kevin
Brice, aged 26, of Goldmgton
Green, Bedford. The fourth
man was seriously injured.

BR sets a
record in
passenger
safety

The number of deaths in
the working of British Rail
last year was the lowest since
records started nearly a
century ago, the Department
of Transport said in its

annual railway accident re- !
port, published today. It
shows'that no passenger was.
killed in a railway accident.

The total numbers of
deaths, at 69, included rail-
waymen killed at work and
other people who - died
through misadventure or
suimde.

i Lieutenant-Colonel • Ian
.McNaughton, chief inspect-
< ing officer of railways,
reported that the- fining
trend had been achieved at a
time when the life of railway
equipment had had to be
extended because of eco¬
nomic considerations.

That bad. added to the
difficulties of those whose
task it was to maintain and
■operate the railways in safe-

ty-

But Mr Malcolm South-
gate, ■ British Rail’s chief
Operations manager, issued a
warning that while the rail¬
ways would continue to give
priority to investment in
safety,' “lack of money may
inhibit the introduction of
facilities that will further
improve safety. Where invest¬
ment is not available, speed
restrictions will be imposed
rather than allow safety
standards to falL” *

The report shows that for
the first time, the number of
reportable train accidents fell
below. 1,000 to 930.

MP’s Bill aimed at
unfit meat racket

By Robin Young, Consumer Affairs Correspondent

Miss Jeanette Thomas, who is 1 12 today. Believed to
be the oldest person in Britain, she lives in a home
for the elderly at Cowbridge, South Glamorgan,
where she will celebrate quietly with friends.

To the excitement .of the
consumer lobby, which has
seen littie relevant legislation
passed under the present
Government, three MPs hig¬
hly placed m the ballot for
private members* Bills have
espoused proposals for im¬
portant reforms of consumer
law.

The BQIs the MPs will
present were introduced yes¬
terday at a press conference
organized jointly by - the
National Consumer Council
and the Consumers’ Associ¬
ation.

Mr Frederick Willey;
Labour MP for Sunderland
North, wbo has top place,
will introduce a Supply of

Goods and Services Bill,
giving people who hire items,
buy them in part exchange,
or nave them supplied as part
of a service the same protec¬
tion as cash shoppers.

-His- Bill would also define
basic rights for consumers
when they obtain a service:
the work to be performed
with reasonable skill and
care, within reasonable time
and at a reasonable cost
where no price 1 has been
agreed.

• Mr Willey said yesterday:
“This will not give con¬
sumers a host of new rights.
It is an attempt to make
sense out of nonsense.”

Mr Norman Atkinson,
Labour MP for Haringey,
Tottenham, has second place.
His Food and Drugs (Amend¬
ment) Bill follows court cases
that have revealed wide-scale
racketeering in unfit meat
channelled into the food
processing industry for
human consumption.

Mr Atkinsoirs Bill would

enable Food and Drugs Act
offences to be heard in the
Crown Court, instead of only
in magistrates* courts as at
present. The maximum fine,
would be raised from £100 to
£1,000 on summary convic¬
tion, or an unlimited amount
on indictment, with the

further possibility of up to

two years’ imprisonment.

_ Mr Atkinson said: “The
bill would put meat racket¬
eering into the serious crime
league. At present no one can.
safely say they have not
eaten unfit or contaminated
meat. I have been astonished
by the evidence of how
veterinary throw-outs and
even cancerous carcasses
find their way into the food
trade.”

Spokesmen for the Insti¬
tution of Environmental
Health Officers and the
Institute of Trading Stan¬
dards Administration, who
also support the Bill, said
that at present the penalties
For describing meat wrongly
were heavier than those for
selling meat that was unfit
and dangerous to health.

The Bill would also extend
the time limits for bringing a
prosecution from six months
to three years.

Mr Atkinson said his Bill
went far beyond anything the
Government had proposed,
but he thought he could
count on its support.

The third BQl, to be
introduced by Mr Gwilym
Roberts, Labour MP tor
Cannock, would extend the
Trade Descriptions Act ro
estate agents, tour operators,
and all businesses providing
services.

New hope of
clearing
Gruinard of
anthrax

The Ministry of Defence is
reviewing ways of ridding
Gruinard Island, the site of
Second World War germ
warfare tests, of lethal sporqs
of anthrax. The study wilt be
conducted by scientists at the
Porton Down research centre
near Salisbury, Wiltshire.

An investigation in 1971
suggested three methods, but
they were rejected as too
expensive. The costs were
estimated at between £3zn
and £15m at 1971 prices.

Anthrax-infected soil was
removed from — the island in
October by a group of alleged
microbiologists, calling them¬
selves “Dark Harvest”.

Stolen samples were
planted inside the Porton
Down perimeter fence, and
later at Blackpool, near the
venue of the Conservative
Party conference.

A spokesman for the
ministry, said yesterday:
“Our study group is inten¬
sively reviewing ways of
decontaminating Gruinard
Island. Various methods are
being studied, and the cost
involved.”

A survey in 1979 of the
one-and-a-half-mUe-Iong is¬
land, near Ullapool. Wester
Ross, showed that it was still
heavily contaminated with
anthrax.

The three methods ot
“cleaning” the island sug¬
gested in 1971 were: Strip¬
ping of the toplaycr of soil
and dumping it in the
Atlantic; neutralizing the
Spores with steam pressure
hoses nr chemicals; or bom
bardment by radiation.

Many companies hear no evil,
see no evil and will speak no evil of the
company car. .

In feet the company car is so much taken
for granted you may have long since ceased
to evaluate its real effectiveness.

The compare car no doubt has some
advantages. But for longer trips it can be one
of the slowest ways of getting from A to B.

And what exactly are your executives
doing all the time they’re in the car? They
can’t prepare for business meetings, they
can’t relax, they can’t even think. And yet
you pay them every moment they’re in the
can Pay them in effect for doing nothing.

Novi? suppose they leave the car behind
and take, the train. They will be safer (in 1980
not one passenger was killed in a train

accident). They will almost certainly arrive
quicker. They can relax in air-conditioned
comfort on many trains, sit back in ergo¬
nomically designed seats, and give their
full attention to any business problem that
needs solving

On Inter-City trains there is ample desk
space and a virtual guarantee of freedom
from interruptions. Which means an
exceptionally high level of productivity.
Perhaps even higher than that achieved in
the office.

Which makes the true cost of
■train travel very low indeed .

Undeniably, the car has its
place. But for longer trips, '
especially, there’s alot of ifjSpd

wisdom in opting for the train.

Geneva delegates settle
down to hard bargaining

From Henry Stanhope, Defence Correspondent, Geneva, Dec 1

. Soviet.and American delega-
tions to the talks about limit¬
ing nuclear weapons in
Europe held their first nego-
dating session here today, in
a room with a breathtaking
view and a clock that was five
minutes fast.

It lasted two hours and 40
minutes and will be followed
by another on Friday. Twice-
weekly meetings alternating
between the Soviet and Ameri-
can headquarters on Tuesdays
and Fridays will become the
pattern for the talks, with Jess
formal discussions in between.

If the world's two most
powerful nations ever resolve
to kiss and make up, it would
surely have to be here in the
eighth floor American confer¬
ence room overlooking Lake
Geneva, glistening in the
winter sunshine, and beyond
that the French Alps with
Moot Blanc on the horizon.

Ooe potential source of dis¬
cord is that the Amercans
have taken die best seats
facing the windows and the
balcony, while the Russians
once more have to turn their
backs upon the outside world
and gaze upon a row of rather
indifferent modern prints on
the wall.

“ We always sit this side at
arms control talks”, a sweating
public relations official said.
“ No, we didn'L toss for it—and
no, we don’t change round at
halftime. We just always sit
this side."

The room is at the offices of

Standstill
at Madrid

die United States Anns Control
and Disarmament Agency and
was used during the last series
of Salt talks. It is large and
functional, with a 30ft polished
wooden table which today was
the focal point of most press
interest

Apart from the view, the
facilities were austere—just a
pristine pad of notepaper be¬
fore each place, two sharpened
pencils apiece with built-in
India rubbers and trays of
water jugs and glasses.

The delegations arrived a
minute late, led by, Mr Paul

Nitze for the Americans and
Mr Yuli Kvitsinsky for the
Russians, both of whom sac
facing each other in the centre
of the table, in high-backed
leather revolving chairs. Each
side bad nine other members
and advisers, in low-backed
matc hing chairs who sat nod¬
ding at each other with polite
interest, like visiting Rotarians.

“ Will you please move
back”, bellowed an official as
the television lights flared.
Another hastily cleaned Mr
Kviis in sky’s ashtray in which
someone had stubbed out a
couple of king-size filter-tips.

Mr Nitze, who looked bappier
on his home ground, invited
his duelling partner to shake
bands for the cameras. “ Once
more? ” beamed Mr Kvitsinsky,
and they shook hands for the
next few minutes.

" MBFR tie ”, he remarked
cheerfully across the table, a
reference to the lie designed
for the many delegates who

have attended the Vienna talks
on Mutual Balanced Force
Reductions in Europe since
they opened eight years ago.
As nobody was actually wear¬
ing an MBFR tie, this baffled
everyone. Mr Kvireinsky’s own
fie was navy blue with white
polka dots. u I have a SALT 1
tie at home”, volunteered Mr
Nitze.

Then, the banalities over,
they politely ejected the media
and got down to the business
of the arms negotiations.; These
have now been officially if

unilaterally rechristened by

Nato the Intermediate-range
Nucear Forces (INF) Talks.
The u intermediate ” replaces
“ theatre ” in deference to those
countries who did not want
reminding that in wartime they
would not only be in the Euro¬
pean theatre, but would be sit¬
ting somewhere in the front
stalls.

□ Oslo: Dr Joseph Luos,
Nato’s Secretary-General, has
given the Geneva talks "a fair
chance of reaching an agree¬
ment ”.

Ac a press conference today
after completing two days of
talks with Norwegian Govern¬
ment officials and officers at
Nato’s Northern Europe Head¬
quarters (Afnorth) here, Dr
Luns said: “ I’m not pessi¬
mistic. There is a fair chance
that some agreement might
be reached, concluded and ,
signed. Although that agree¬
ment might not be what we all ;
hoped for, I would put to you
that an agreement is better
than no agreement.”—AP.

Peace protest echoed
in the Soviet block

From David Blow, Vienna, Dec 1

From Harry Dcbelius
Madrid, Dec 1

Mr Leonid Ilyichov, tht
head of the Soviet delegation
to the Conference on Security
and Cooperation ia Europe,
said here today that American
accusations - of Government
sponsored anti-semitism in the
Soviet Union are “ dirty,
repulsive, immoral lies ” which
** blacken all that is noble ” in
his country. Negotiations are
now virtually at a standstill.

Mr Max Kampelman. the
chief of the United States
delegation, referred to the
** ugly phenomenon " of anti-
temiric activities and called
them “ a particularly pernicious
aspect of Soviet repression ”.

Mr Kampelman reminded
representatives of the 35
nations at the conference that
Dr Andrei Sakharov, a dis¬
tinguished advocate of human
rights in the Soviet Union,
began a hunger strike along
with his wife nine davs ago in
the city of Gorky, where they
are living in internal exile.

Mr Ilyichov expressed sur¬
prise that the United States
diplomat should repeatedly
“defend people who have lost
their honour and are guilty of
treason and other related
crimes". He chided His
American counterpart for not
talking about Eastern Euro¬
pean proposals for a disarms
ment conference.

Mr Kampelman admitted to¬
day that negotiations on sec¬
tions of the Helsinki accords
being dealt with by various
committees, “ have come pretty
much to a standstill.”

The West European peace
movement is beginning to be
echoed faintly in the Soviet
block. The main source is the
Lutheran Church of East
Germany.

Last month, at its autumn
assembly, it supported a call
for a pacifist alternative to
military service, suggesting
work in hospitals, old people’s
homes and other institutions.

In Hungary a number of
Roman Catholic priests have
recently been suspended for
preaching in support of con¬
scientious objection to military
service.

The instigators of the paci¬
fist movement in East
Germany's Lutheran Church
seem to have been mainly
young activists, but the move¬
ment has rapidly gained wide¬
spread support. By the time
the assembly met last month
the regional synods of the
church had received about
4,000 petitions from local
church communities urging
them to come out in favour
of the “social peace service”,
as it is called.

The Lutheran Church has
also been openly critical of
what it regards as the increas¬
ing militarization of East
German society, citing in parti¬
cular the paramilitary training
of youth, weapons instruction
in s(hools and the recent
extensive civil defence
exercises.

At last month's assembly
the synod of Saxonv reflected
a view widely held in the
church when it said that this

questioned by EEC

From Nicholas Hirst
Washington, Dec 1
The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRCj., the con-
troiling body for the United
States industry, is concerned
that international safeguards
to prevent the spread of
nuclear weapons may in some
cases be too weak
In its first official expres¬
sion of dissatisfaction with
the way the International
Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) monitors the peaceful
use of atomic power, the com¬
mission doubts whether
inspections in some . plants
would show that material was
beins diverted to weapons
Neither is it confident that
any diversion of material
would be discovered “in
timely fashion ’'—the Commis¬
sion ’ believes it would be

possible for a country with

certain nuclear plants to be

IAEA riot to know.

The concerns are expressed
hi a letter to several congres¬
sional committees from Mr
Nunzio Palladino, chairman of
the commission.

The installation that most
worries the NRC is a reactor,
developed in Canada, and
which has been exported . to
several Third World countries.

France wants to breathe

From Charles Hargrove, Paris, Dec t

\ French Minister of State
the Defence Ministry today
iicated that France.wants to
jathc new life into tbe
?srem European _ Union,

embly—consisting of rep-
ientauves from Britain,
luce. West Germany, Italy.

Belgium, Luxembourg and the
Netherlands—should study two
questions of immediate interest
to European security: the
nature and origin of pacifist
movements in Western
Europe; and the place of
Europe in the nuclear balance
between the superpowers.

The 28 permanent officials of
the WElTs standing armaments
committee could provide the
necessary technical inforatiop,
M Lemoine said, and nothing in
the WEU treaty stood in the
wav of the Council of Ministers

authorizing this.

His suggestions might seem
timid, the minister said, but
they were a start.

was not conducive to true
peace and security because on
the one hand it created anxiety
and on the other it accustomed
people to the possibility of
war.

The East German authorities
have rejected the call for a
pacifist alternative to military
service as “ hostile to peace.
Socialism and tbe constitu¬
tion ”, but they are in an
awkward position in view of
the barrage of propaganda
they have maintained against
militarist tendencies in the
West.

The president of the
Lutheran church in the city of
Dessau said: “Young people
are tired of having to tell
themselves that a weapon in
the hands of the workers
serves-the cause of peace, but
in the hands of the imperalists
serves the cause of war."

Attempts to exploit the
West European peace move¬
ment have in some cases
rebounded. At a recent con¬
ference of the Czech Com¬
munist Party a delegate called
for closer contacts with the
peace movement, which he
described as “clearly anti-
American” But recently the
Voice of the German Demo¬
cratic Republic radio station
tried to explain whv there is
no need for a similar peace
movement in East Germany.

The answer, that the East
German state and its citizens
were united in opposing the
arms race was predictable,
but ■ perhaps not entirely
convincing.

What began as an attempt
to protect Britons from the
worst effects of the champagne
shortage has ended with one
of France’s manufacturers
having to pay a £616,000 One
to the European Commission.

The Commission announced !
today that it bad imposed the
fine on Moet-Hennessy of-Paris
because its British subidiary
Moet-er-Chandon (London) Ltd
had made the sale of its cham¬
pagne in Britain conditional on j
its not being resold abroad- j

A director of Moet in Lon-!
don said that it had included !
the condition in its terms of ,
gale at the beginning of 1380

limited allocation of champagne
destined for Britain actually

"After three disastrously small
harvests in Champagne in the
past four years, there is a
chronic shortage of champagne
and we have only a strict

Sabotage
cuts oil
output in
Angola

By Our Foreign Staff

Saboteurs have blown up'
pan of an Angolan oil refinery,
and the -damage will cause
severe shortages of refined
oil.

A spokesman for Petrofina,
the Belgian oil company which
runs the Petrangol plant near
Luanda, said that it could be
out of operation for two
months.

Unite, tbe anti-Goverranent
guerrilla movement, which
operates in south-eastern
Angola with South AfritatX

support, claimed responsibility
for the attack on Monday,;
which was carried out with
Soviet rocket-propelled gren¬
ades. The resulting fire was
brought under control
yesterday.

The claim was made by Dr
Jonas Savimbi, tbe Unita
leader, in New York yester¬
day.

■Dr Savimbi said an all-out
offensive could- be launched
once Namibia gained indepen¬
dence and would demonstrate
that his forces did not depend
on South Africa’s presence in
■the territory.

He also said in an interview
with Reiners that Unita had
received “signals" of a wil¬
lingness to negotiate from
factions of the ruling MFLA
party in Angola.

The attack- was a demon¬
stration of Unita strength
despite the executions of 16 of
its leaders in August, 1980.

* If there are more executions,
we promise we are going to
strike again ”, he said. Further
attacks would be made “every
time we see any political or
military value in it”.

He said he was receiving
reports of mass arrests in
Luanda and was watching for
any executions.

The Angolan Government
claimed the attack was the
work of South Africa using a
group of white mercenaries.

The government . press
agency- said journalists in
Luanda were shown the body
of a white man who was said
to have been ooe of two white
mercenaries killed in the
attack. Lieutenant-Colonel
Pedro Van Dunem, the Angolan
Oil and Energy Minister, said
she attackers may have come
by submarine. The South
African Government swiftly
denied the allegations.

The minister confirmed that
the area where the finished oil
products are stored had been
badly damaged and added that
the whole .refining plant which
had a capacity of 33,000
barrels a day had been dosed
down..

A government statement
yesterday said the saboteurs
were trying to cut off oil
supplies to Angolan troops
fighting the South African
Army in the south of the coun¬
try, and drew attention to the
strategic implications of a fuel
shortage in a country where
the Angolan Army is involved
in a costly war.

The Angolan Government,
says its troops have never been
able to regain control' of the
large areas of the southern,
border provinces seized by the
South African Army during
last August’s incursion.

According to a separate oil
ministry communique, the
refinery attack caused a rush
on Luanda’s petrol pumps ; but
it promised that refined pro¬
ducts would be imported to
prevent shortages.

The play opens with the arrival
of Lady Sarah, the Princess’s
sister, at St Paul’s Cathedral
wearing a six-strand pearl chok¬
er with daw foot pearl clasp.

The scene switches to the state

away on honeymoon; she is
wearing the identical choker,
apparently removed from -her
sister's neck at the reception.

The second act takes place

to the end.

Thinking big about
greatcoats

Meryl Streep seems to have
done as much for capes as
she has for the cause of the
liberated Victorian lady. Her
wave-Lashed first appearance
in the film of The French
Lieutenant's Woman under¬
lines the romance and-
mystery of the all-enveloping
cape.

I don't know if the screen¬
ing of War and Peace will
help to popularize the great¬
coat. But the big coat and the
swirling cape both follow
today's feeling for the cava¬
lier look. They also answer to
a general need to find an
outer garment that fits
stylishly over everything you
own.

It used to be the norm for
a woman to own at least a
couple of winter coats. A
tailored town coat and a
tweedy country shape were
essentials in a wardrobe, with
a lighter spring coat and a
macintosh for in-between
seasons.

Inflation and layered dress¬
ing have revolutionized that
concept. Most women now
have only one heavy-weight
coat, making do with cardi¬
gan coats, shawls, and
jackets for anything but the
most brutal weather.

If you have only one coat,
it has got to be, right, which
means a classic in colour and
shape. The favourite fabric
of this season for both coats

and capes is Ioden, that
hedge green thick wool
fabric, associated with moun¬
tains and warm enough for
the Austrian army. The other
favourite is camel, with
variations on earth-coloured
weaves also popular.

Many readers tell roe that
they find it difficult to get a
winter coat. I think this
comes from trying on a coat
in your own size, rather than
in one or two sizes bigger.

A generous cut and a redly
long hemline are essential if
you want your coat to feel
comfortable over a tweed
jacket or bulky cardigan and
to look right over the prairie
skirts and knickerbockers.

It follows that a raglan
shoulder is a wiser choice
than a set-in sleeve and a
swing-back more practical
than a fitted coat.

You won’t find a really big
coat for much under £100
these days and the most
luxurious in camel hair or
cashmere are three times
that price.

If you are buying below
that level, it will pay to
think bigger still and buy two
sizes over your dress shape.
Women are also increasingly
raiding men’s - departments

Sparkle at your feet

In the absence of glass
slippers, Cinderella ball¬
gowns leave a nasty gap
below the ankles. A spaghetti
junction of gilded straps
entwined around the toes
looks odd with a crinoline
skirt. Court shoes and pumps
need to.be decorated at the
toe in order not to look as
though you are dancing in
your day shoes. I

Since Edward Rayne’s
family came into the shoe
business by dressing Lillie
Langtry’s little feet, it is not
surprising that he should be
the man to put the sparkle
back into the (royal) court
shoe. '

Edward Rayne, the head of
a shoe empire that has refeii
footprints across America,
tells me that clothes fashions
affect shoe design, but that
the demand for a comfortable
shoe and the desire to look
elegant in high heels remain
the constants of bis business.

The big growth areas of
the last decade have been in
boots (which started with the
Ballet Russe boots in the
1920s) and in espadrilles.

"There is" now an enor¬
mous variety of new tex¬
tures, materials and finishes
for shoes,” he explains. “We
have cobra patterns, lustre
calf and die metaQics. The
shoe trade was once domina¬
ted by America, but gradu¬
ally European style ^emerged.
I don’t think our shoes are
particularly English. The
world is our marketplace and
the competition isn’t local,
but international.”

Shoe technology has now
become so refined that a pair
of shoes made in two days
can be as good as one that
used to take weeks. But
Edward Rayne claims that
shoes are still the most
complicated articles of wear¬
ing apparel and a lot of

consumer problems come
from public ignorance.

“American women are
fitting mad, they really know
their sizes. No woman should
have to suffer to be beauti¬
ful, and American women
certainly will not.”

Passionate collectors of
footwear like Lady Docker
must be dear to any shoe¬
maker’s heart, but Edward
Rayne says that all shoes
fascinate him and the first
thing he looks at when he
meets someone is the feet.

“My wife says that I am
permanently looking at the
pavement”, says Edward
Rayne, who himself wears
the most conservative of
gleaming leather shoes.

I cannot help feeling that
John Bratby, who painted the
strong portrait hanging in
Rayne’s elegant Mayfair flat,
ought to have painted his
subject from head to leather
toe.

Trouble and strife
— or politics
in the family

The 1979 General Election
proved, if proof were needed,
that a lot of women shared
bed and board with men of a
wholly different political
persuasion. In feet, Mrs
Thatcher might well be
leading the Opposition were
it not for the wives of
Labour-voting husbands who
sneaked a Tory vote into the
ballot box.

What makes their case
different from my own is that
they had the good sense to
keep quiet about their voting
intentions. But then, their
husbands were habitual
socialists, a breed easy
enough not to _ take issue
with, and not, like my own
dear one, a brand new
convert to the SDP (or
Sodpal as we detractors
prefer to call it).

We both look back with
uneasy nostalgia to the days
when he was an unaligned
capitalist and I was a benign
radical. We resolved our
political differences over a
bottle of Scotch and mutually
tolerdnt talk about a society
that combined compassion
with incentives. For the rest
of the time, we just went
about our business.

The formation of the SDP
has changed aimless political
discussion as we know it.

It’s the Noisy Party and
nobody can keep quiet about
it. Like one who has wit¬
nessed the miracle at Fatima,
my husband can’t keep his
conversion to himself. A
reference to proportional
representation wiggles its
way into every conversation,
as if it were some kind of
moral imperative.

We would both be better
off if I could learn how to be
enigmatically silent, the way
a surgeon is when a recently
operated-on patient swears
that the scalpel is still inside
his stomach, but I am as
noisy as a whole council of
Sodpals.

So I shriek, until the
glasses rinkiti with the vibra¬
tions, that the probable
outcome of PR is that every
household will be issued with
a pasta-making machine and
middle-class green wellies.

Ever since the SDP sug¬
gested that its members
could subscribe by credit
card, I have visualized it as
the party whose aim is to
make life safe for the man in
die Leisuretime Safari Suit. I
could never see the point of
conducting opinion polls at
the recent Crosby Vy-elec¬
tion. A count of all house¬
holds with battery-operated
vacuum cleaners for brush¬
ing down the car upholstery
would have predicted the size
of Mrs Williams’s vote.

There is some satisfaction
to be gained in the scoring of
cheap points, and the SDP
mailings to its membership is
a fruitful source of nastiness.

A recent one gave details
of its "Xmas Fayre”. “F-A-Y-
R-E”, I sneered. I think
that’s probably worse than
Bill Rodgers’s new haircut
and David Owen’s sing-songs
on the first class only train.
F-A-Y-R-E, oh my paws and
whiskers.” This is the year
that my husband refused to
let me sell him a Labour
Party raffle ticket.

Our domestic situation is
not unique. Of the married
couples I know, more men
have joined the The Noisy
Party than their wives, giving
credence to the theory that,
politically, men are more
volatile than women. I sus¬
pect that part of the reason
why women like myself are
staying put is because we are
immune to the hard sell. We
have learnt by now that
however brilliant the tele¬
vision commercial, the deter¬
gent it lauds can not really
make the sheets look perma¬
nently sunlit.

“I loathe this constant

persuasion,” said the wife of
a recent convert. “It’s mak¬
ing me sympathize, belatedly,
with Freud’s neurotic female
patients. They probably got
neurotic because they
couldn’t proue he was wrong
even though they knew he
was.”

Another woman said that
she’s never had any problems
reconciling her desire for

equal opportunity with her
intention of educating her
children privately. After lis¬
tening to her newly SDP
husband give a balanced,
reasonable and lengthy expla¬
nation about not denying
people freedom of choice-
.... basic right of every
parent.... must level up not
down, etc. etc., she wanted to
slip out and set fire to Eton.

Maybe I remain loyal to the
Labour Party because I
suspect I have got a good
thing going there. Years of
mingling with belligerent
women like me has had a
lovely effect on the socialist
male. There is no one as
willing as he to run a crdche
or cook a meal. I do not
suppose it is terribly relevant
to the state of the nation, but
one of the things 1 like best
about Labour Party meetings
is that I feel surrounded by
men who would not dream of
making jokes about women
drivers.

Nevertheless, some of my
best female friends have
joined the Social Democrats.
They are all hot contenders
in the Superwoman stakes.
All week they juggle job/ho-
nie/husband/cnildren without
dropping anything. On Fri¬
day evening, they load up the
Volvo with home-made pate
and aubergines and drive off
to a second, country, home,
which they run with equal
perfection. They are bright,
winy women and I love to be
in their company. But unlike
the socialist women I know.

Penny Perticic noisy
party at breakfast time.

they don’t express many
views about David Stockman
or Dr Nicholas Humphrey or
the zero option.

They could say, and fairly,
that women like me, who
certainly do not shine in all
domestic departments, have
more time to concentrate on
political issues. To which I
could reply, with equal
fairness, that that is the
whole point. I feel that, if
they are not careful, female
Social Democrats, for all

nouncements about equality

themselves becoming a more
glamorous version of the

Already at SDP gatherings,
I notice that women, instead
of having their say, merely
take an interest — or at least
pretend to. Even the redoubt¬
able Shirley Williams has
acquired this skill. At a party
recently, she got into conver¬
sation with my husband. Or
rather, she did not. My
husband talked. She listened.
He went on. She did not
interrupt. He talked some
more. She put her head on
one side, the better to hear
the wonders that spilled from
his lips.

On the way home, I asked
him if he would like me to
behave so attentively — “put
my head on one side and
listen to you, I mean, instead
of talking all the time.” This
opportunity to score points
was irresistible. “No point in
your doing that,” he said. “It
only worics if

Court of Appeal

Law Report December 2 1981

Divisional Court

The Wenjiang

Before Lord Denning, Master of
the Rolls, Lord Justice Dunn and
Lord Justice Fox
(Judgment delivered December 1}
A judge was correct to grant
charterers leave io appeal to the
High Court under section 1 of
the Arbitration Act 1979 from the
decision of an arbitrator that the
date of frustration of a charter-
party, concerning a vessel which

was trapped in the Shan-at-Arab
waterway, by reason of the war
between Iran and Iraq, was
November 24, 1960, rather than
an earlier date.

The Court of Appeal dismissed,
to that extent, an appeal by the

decision of Mr justice Robert
Goff granting leave to the

from an interim award of the fighting around the town • was

arbitrator, Mr Donald Davies. ' ---- J

Mr John Thomas for the
owners; Mr Michael Dean, QC for
the charterers.

It was agreed on all sides that
all the charterpanies became
frustrated. The question was: at
what date? It was vital because
from rfmr date onwards no hire
would be payable by the
charterers- . .

In four cases beard by
arbitrators much the, same
evidence had been given m e ach
case, but the dates of frustration
varied from October 4 to
December 9.1980. Something had
to be done to procure uniformity
of treatment.

The present case could be
compared with The Birin (unre-.
ported August 6). The facts in
the two cases were virtually
indistinguishable: both vessels
loaded or discharged at Basrah

The MASTER OF THE ROLLS
said that owing to the fighting
which brake out in September
19S0,60 ships were trapped in the
Shatt-al-Arab. They were Flying
flags of many nations and sailing
under different charterparties. In
the early days it .was hoped that
the vessels would be. allowed out,
but that hope vanished.in the
first few weeks. The crews left,
and the ships remained and were
still there.

starting. They were not allowed
to leave and most of the crews
bad left by early October. The
charters expired in April and
May 1961, respectively.

In The Wcnjianz, the arbitrator
fixed the date or frustration as
November. 24, 1980; in The Etna,
where die arbitrators disagreed,
an umpire fixed it at October 4.
In each case there was appli¬
cation to the commercial judge
.for leave to appeal, which was
granted.

When Mr Justice Robert Goff
gave judgment In The Etna, he
said he that could find no fault in.

the reasoning or ~ conclusion of
the umpire, and agreed that the
contract had been frusatrated on
October 4- The Wenjiang was
held up to await the decision of
the House of Lords in The Nema
(The Times. July 17; £1981] 3
WLR292).

Now it was said that the-judge
should not have given leave to
appeal So the case raised once
again the guidelines to be applied
under the 1979 Act in appli¬
cations for leave to appeal.

The principles were that the
judge should first see if it was a
^one-off” case. It might be “one-
off" because the facts ware so-
exceptional that they were
yinfrnlwr to the case and not
likely to occor again, -or because
it was a point oi construction of
a clause which was not likely to
be used again.

. .In such a case the judge should
not rive leave to appeal if he
thought the arbitrator was right
or probably right or might have
been right; he should only grant
it if he fanned the provisional
view that the arbitrator was
wrong on a point of tew which
coulo substantially affect the
rights of one or other of the
parties.

If it was not a "one-off” case. -

with facts which might occur
repeatedly or from time to tune,
i.w» cHnulri he riven if the fades

thought the arbitrator might
-hove gone wrong on the
construction, but not if he
thought he was right,

. The present was not a singular
case. If each award as to the date
of frustration were considered in
isolation, there would seem to be

no good grounds for interfering:

the judge could not say in any
■case that the arbitrator had
misdirected himself.in point of
law or that the decision was such
that no reasonable abitrator
could reach.

But when 60 steps were
trapped, it -was a mistake to
consider each case in isolation. It
was important to the trade that
there should, be uniformity of
decision: see per Lord Diplock in
The Nema at p3Q5.

Thus if the judge in the first
case thought that roe arbitrator’s
decision was not right, or
not have been right. He
give leave, and then on the
hearing consider what should be
the correct decision on tew: on
the facts. His decision would
afford guidance binding, on
arbitrators in later arbitrations.
So also if the . case went .to the
Conn of Appeal. In short, the
fi rst authoritative decision
should be treated as governing all
others. . .

dates deadSl
m The hvia and The Weapons,
the judge was right to give leave

to appeal in both cases, so that
he, or the Court of Appeal, could
consider what was the correct
date to take as the date of
frustratmn-

Apart from the point about
uniformity, there was ground for
thinking that in The Wenjiang
the arbitrator applied the wrong
test of frustration. He said that
he was much attracted by the
date of October 7. 1980, because
by then “there had been
sufficient time, since the out¬
break of the war, to see the
pattern of events and to conclude
that the conflict might be of a
prolonged nature.” He appar¬
ently only departed from that
date because he had regard to
what he described as the
“dep ri vation/unexpiratioa prin¬
ciple". That might have led him
into error.

On the further ground that the
arbitrator might have been not
right, therefore 1 , it was proper
for the judge to give leave to

__were two further points

on construction of a st andar d
form chart erpar t y . On them the
arbitrator was clearly right, and
leave should not be given on
those points.

LORD JUSTICE DUNN, con-
curling, said, that in the light of
The Nema, the test applied by Mr
Justice Robert Goff, namely
whether the arbitrator either
misdirected himself in tew or

reached a conclusion as to the
date of frustration which no
reasonable arbitrator could
reach, was not in the dream-
stances the correct one, since it
was not a “one-off” case.

His Lordship’s provisional view
was that the arbitrator’s decision
was not right. Although the
arbitrator referred to the classic
statement of frustration in Davis
Contractors Ltd o Fareham VDC
([1956] AC 696), he based his
conclusion on what he called the

_ . [see

ucts Co Ltd ([1916] 2 AC 397)1
when the doctrine of frustration
was in its infancy. Whether it
now formed any, and if so what,
part of the developed doctrine,
was a matter on which the courts
should have an opportunity of
pronouncing.

Moreover, in view of the
different dates that had been
fixed by arbitrators, the com
should intervene in the interest
of certainly.

The other two points were
covered by the other limb of the
The Nema. Since they raised
questions of standard form
construction, a strong prim*
fade case would have to he made
out that the arbitrator was wrong
in his construction. No such ease
had been made out.

Lord Justice Fox agreed.

A new man
to reform
the dustbins

Mr David Jenkins, a lecturer in
criminology at the University of
Edinburgh, is to be the new
director of the Howard League for
Penal Reform. He follows Mr
Martin Wright, who is leaving rn
study for a Ph D at the London
School of Economics.

Mr Jenkins, who is 32 and just
finishing his Ph D, at the LSE,
starts work on January 1 and one
of the first things be will have to
consider is a change of name, and
direction, for the league. The aim
now is to broaden it to examine
not just prison reform but the rest
of the criminal justice system as
well. Louis Elom-Cooper, a mem¬
bra- of the league's council, who
rang me yesterday with this
information, would Eke readers of
The Times to suggest a new name
for the league.

One possibility, however, is to go
back to the original name — the
Howard Association. This was
what die organization was called
when it was created in 1866: it did
not take on its present handle until
1921 when it merged with the
League for Penal Reform. Under
Jenkins the league, or whatever it
decides to call itself, will concen¬
trate more on alternatives TO

need a national prosecuting system
and how to keep offenders out of
gaol in the first place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

P-.O. Box 7, 200 Gray^ Inn Road, London WC1X8EZ. Telephone : 01-8371234

WANTED: EUROPEAN VISION

Britain and Greece are the
only members of the Euro¬
pean Community in which the
fact of membership is stiU a
major political issue.' For
Britain mis means that while
the politicians of other mem¬
ber states must cope with
grumbles about how the
Community works, and with
demands to defend more
vigorously their national
interests, British politicians
are forced into taking up
more fundamental positions
on one side or other of the
barricades.

This colours Britain’s
whole relationship with the
Community. It . keeps alive
doubts about Britain among
Europeans, and it hampers
rational debate about Europe
among Britons. It also puts
the British government un¬
necessarily on the- defensive.
In the Commons on Monday
Mrs Thatcher admitted her
disappointment at the failure
of last week’s summit. But
she seemed to feel obliged to
put a rather better gloss on it
than it deserved, and under
questioning she was pushed
into talking more about the
safeguarding of national
interests than about creative
ideas for the future.

It is, of course, in her
nature to do that. She does
not feel the inspiration of-the
European Community in her
bones. She accepts it intellec¬
tually, and politically she has
not done badly out of it. Her
fight a to ( reduce the British
contribution was a triumph
though it cost her some
frayed tempers in’ the Com¬
munity. What she says about
the Community is mostly
sound: in the Commons she

balanced her remarks about
each nation fighting-its own
corner with several nods
towards the basic common
interests of members. But her
character is essentially insu¬
lar, and her concerns pri¬
marily domestic. When this is
reinforced by the political
pressures of Labour oppo¬
sition and public scepticism it
goes some way towards ex¬
plaining why Britain’s .half-
year in the European, chair
will end inconclusively unless
the foreign ministers pull
agreement out of a hat before

It is easy to make excuses.
The Community moves slowly
at the. best of times, and is.
now confronting some par¬
ticularly difficult conflicts of
national-interest. This year it
has been further delayed by
the French election. Yet
Britain could have offered
more push and more vision if
its internal politics had been
less cramped: If someone with
vision does not soon lift the
debate out of its slough,
public disaffection is likely to
spread. Already the West
Germans are becoming un¬
derstandably sourer about the
huge budgetary burden which
now f alls upon them; and. if
the balance is redressed-it will
be someone else's turn to
complain.

The basic trouble for public
opinion — and not just in
Britain — is that so much of
what the Community does
defies common sense, even
when it seems to protect
national interests. For in¬
stance^ anyone can see that if
one of the purposes of the
Community is take a bit from
the rich and give a bit to the
poor.it is wholly absurd that

revenue should be raised
through the vagaries of an
out-of-date agricultural policy
which, in some cases benefits
the rich and penalizes the
poor.

Of course the solutions are
technically and politically
difficult but. unless the
Community begins soon to
show more signs of shaking
itself out of its ingrained
habits of thought and pro¬
cedure it is going to look,
increasingly out of touch with i
reality. This is, after all, a !
relatively propitious moment. ;
Rising world food prices have
reduced the cost of Com
munity subsidies and made
Britain’s contribution even
lower than expected. The
general atmosphere is rela¬
tively good. National passions
are relatively quiescent. Yet
instead of this opening the
way to movement it seems to
have taken some of the
urgency out of the pressure
for reform.

While the foreign ministers
continue their efforts, Mrs
Thatcher could still make a
useful contribution by moving
more rapidly towards joining
the EMS. The excuse that the
pound is now a petrocur¬
rency is not valid. Nor is she
-right if she thinks she can
bargain British membership
for -French concessions on
agriculture. Beyond that,
even after Britain relin
qtushes the chair to Belgium
at the end of the month she
can'still take a more creative
attitude towards reform. It
might even be useful to the
government in domestic poli¬
tics — more useful than the
excuses and delays which in
effect give the Government a
weary air.

WANTED: A PLAN FOR SKILLED PEOPLE

Later this month the new
employment secretary Mr.
Norman Tebbit will make his
long awaited policy statement
on new training initiatives. He
should not shirk it. Never in
the last fifty years has there
been quite the same oppor¬
tunity to go for bold and
imaginative departure. Nor
has there ever been quite the
need.

Even at the best of times it
has been clear that Britain
has lagged dispiritmgly be¬
hind Germany and our main
European competitors in the
standards and coverage of its
basic employment training.
The latest study published by
the National Institute of
Social and ‘ Economic Re¬
search has merely confirmed
what has been apparent to
most observers. of Britain’s
industrial decline for several
generations .- that Germany’s
insistence, that nearly all
school leavers receive voca- .
tional training has helped put
it far ahead of this country in
terms of its technical skills
and productivity. On the
National Institute’s figures,
while 60 per cent of German
workers have skilled qualifi¬
cations, fewer than’. 30 per
cent of British workers have
the equivalent of apprentice¬
ships or City and Guilds
certificates. Some two-thirds
of British workers have no
vocational qualifications at all
compared with a third in
Germany.

As the recession has deep¬
ened, Britain’s ramshackle
structure of apprenticeships
and training is actually get¬
ting worse. The numbers of
youngsters recruited for craft
and technician training in the
engineering industry is the
lowest since records began 15
years ago. Despite all the
efforts of the Manpower

Services Commission, it is
still training that has proved
to be one of. the greatest
victims of.industry’s straigh¬
tened financial circum¬
stances, while the general

S >litical atmosphere has har-
y been improved by the
Government’s decision to
abolish 17 of the statutory
industrial training boards ana
to throw financing of the
remainder back on industry’s
voluntary shoulder.

It Is still not too late to
start anew. If the apprentice^
ship system is collapsing, this
could have its benefits. Even
the Germans with a highly-
structured system of training
are finding it difficult to cope
with the flexibility of skills
demanded by the newer tech¬
nologies. The British appren¬
ticeship system has long
suffered both from its re¬
liance on the willingness of
individual firms to train em¬
ployees who might then leave
them and from the unions"
reluctance to change old
traditions of duration and
entry requirements. New
demands can now be met by
new approaches. The political
climate is right in that the
Government has now commit¬
ted itself to major expendi¬
ture to meet the problems of
unemployed school leavers.
Few even among the most
hardened backbenchers would
dispute that this is better
spent on training for the
future than simply subsidiz¬
ing jobs. Even the unions
seem more willing than in the
past to accept new training
patterns so long as there is a

§ overament commitment

ehind them.

The foundation for a rad¬
ical new programme is there
in the individual initiatives of
the Manpower Services

Commission and the broader
strategy of its paper “A new
Training Initiative.” In par¬
ticular the Government 1
should now aim to provide all I
school leavers with some
form of intermediate tr ainin g.
It should expand the present
small-scale unified vocational
preparational training, for
those finding jobs, not at the
paltry pace of universal cover¬
age by 1990 but by 1985 at the
latest with a preference
towards one-year trainee¬
ships. And, this should be
unified: with the training
provided under . • the Youth
Opportunities Programme. At
the same time, opportunities
for retraining and further
training should be opened up
for adults of whatever age,
particularly those -made re¬
dundant, through the expan¬
sion of skills centres, in-
house courses and the Open
Tech courses.

What the Germans, French
and Swiss and others have
shown is that only govern¬
ment action can achieve such
objectives. It does not have to
do the training itself. It can;
if it prefers, impose an
inescapable legal requirement
on the employer, refunding at
least part of the cost, and it
can stimulate new intiatrves
through, say, regionally-based
bodies. But act it must. ..Two
things can frustrate the best
hopes: the unions, and politi¬
cal timidity.. The unions are
unhappy at the idea of a
training wage. The fear of
cheap labour is short-sighted
but understandable; unless we
are . less intelligent and sin¬
cere than the Europeans it
should be possible to devise a
scheme which is viable. and
also has sensible safeguards
against exploitation. The
political win depends on Mr
Tebbit. ~

EQUAL TIME FOR EQUAL CHANCES

he Social Democrats have at
ast won the. right to-put
Leir case for a fair share of
roadcasting time to a the
rmunittee on Party Political
roadcasting.. This is the
nominee composed of rep-
‘sentatives from the five
her political parties and the
roadcasting authorities. It
?termines the allocation of
irty election broadcasts, and
r party political broadcasts
:rween elections.

It is usually concerned with
sues of only relatively
inor importance because the
isic rules were laid down
ng ago. But these rules are
mnded on the principle that
'oadcasting time should be
lotted according to the
iznber of votes cast for each
irty at the previous general
ection, with a provision to
tsure that a party fielding a
inimum of fifty candidates
>es not go without a broad-
ist of its own. This broad
amework, within which the
ecise arrangements could
s hammered out each time,
as appropriate enough at a
me of political stability
hen the essential question at
ich election was which oi
ie two main parties would
>rm the next government,
tiere were reasonable doubts
ren then as to whether such
system was fair to the

Liberals, or sometimes to the
Nationalist parties. But it was
not manifestly absurd.

All the indications are,
however, that it would be an
example of legalistic pedantry
at its worst to fix the broad¬
casting rules for the next
. election according to how the
votes were cast last time.
There was no such thing as a
Social Democratic Party in
1979, so it would be imposs¬
ible to judge its claim to
broadcasting time at the next
election by its failure to win
any votes at the last one. The
present evidence, according
to by-elections as well as
opinion polls, suggests that
the next election will be
essentially a three-horse race
between Conservative, Labour
and Alliance candidates. That
is the political reality which
ought to be reflected in the
broadcasting arrangements. _

The best way to do this
would be for the governing
principle to be the number of
candidates that each party, or
group, is putting into the
field. If the Alliance manages
to fight the election as a
single entity it should be
treated as a single party. This
would provide broadly equal
conditions for political armies
of equal size. The obvious
objection that will be raised is

that this would enable unrep¬
resentative parties, - which
have failed over the years to
capture any significant public
support, to win a dispro¬
portionate share of. broadcast¬
ing time simply by putting a-
large number or certain loseris
into the field. The National
Front would be the most
likely beneficiary.

. This would in fact be a
small price to. pay for fair
electoral conditions. But
there is one reasonable safe¬
guard that could be applied. It
should be made more difficult;
for parties with little public'
support to field a large
number of candidates. We
have already argued that to
deter cranks the number of
voters in the relevant con¬
stituency required to sign a
candidate’s nomination form
should be increased from the
present derisory figure of ten
to 500 or even 1,000. At the
same time it would be sen¬
sible to raise the deposit that
each candidate has to put
down. A drastic increase
would put an unfair strain on
potentially popular hut poor
parties, but that- still leaves
room to put up the level from
£150 at which it has stood
since 1918. That would be
£1,500 at today’s values. _A
figure of £500 would be easily
bearable.

I Labour’s way out
of Europe

i From Sir Anthony Meyer, MP for
Flint West (Conservative)

Sir, The more we learn of the
Labour Party’s plans for with¬
drawal from the EEC, the more
unrealistic they are seen to be.
On December 1 we had Mr Eric
Heffer admitting. in your
columns, that “Since Britain
joined the EEC the pattern of our
trade has changed. The old
Commonwealth preferences have
gone for ever'', and then going
on to maintain that “It is
therefore of great importance
that when we do withdraw, an
agreement with the other EEC
countries is negotiated and as¬
sociate status agreed. In that way
we could continue to develop
trade with the EEC but without
the barriers against the outside
world which exist today because
of EEC membership”.

In fact, of course, if Britain
withdraws from the EEC it is
virtually impossible that we shall
be able to negotiate associate
status. Let us however, assume
the impossible for arguments
sake. In that case we would be
bound by the trading rules of the
EEC, but without being able to
exert any influence to change
them. How would that improve
matters for us?

What would happen if we did
withdraw would be that the other
EEC countries^ so fiu- from
showing us any favour, would be
bound to refuse any concessions
to us for fear that others might
follow our example. We would
lose our present tariff-free access
to our largest export market; and
we would have to fight the EEC
for markets in the rest of the
world.

Mr Heffer does not even pose
the two key questions. If British
industry cannot hold its own in
the guaranteed free market of the
EEC, how is it going to compete
in the much rougher world
market? Perhaps by selling car
kits to Iran? And, once we have
demonstrated our unreliability by
bolting out of the EEC, just who
is going to conclude any kind of
firm agreement with us?

Until Mr Heffer provides some
kind of answers to these ques¬
tions it is impossible to take him
seriously as Labour’s front bench
spokesman on the EEC.

I am, etc,

Women’s rights

From Mrs Mary Stott and Mrs
Georgina Ashworth
Sir, As Human Rights Day,
December 10, approaches we
should like to draw readers’
attention to' a human rights
instrument that has not yet been
ratified by the British Govern¬
ment. The “Convention on the
Elimin ation of Discrimination
Against Women” was adopted by
the United Nations General
Assembly in December, 1979, and
was open for signature and
ratification six months later.

The British Government signed
in July this year, but the
significant act is ratification.
Election to the monitoring com¬
mittee will be on March 3 next
year, for 28 states have become
party to the convention, bringing
it into force. Responsibility for
ratification lies with the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office in
consultation with other depart¬
ments of government.

The convention notes, not a
little sadly, that despite other
international instruments, includ¬
ing the Declaration of Human
Rights, “extensive discrimination
against women continues to
exist”. It would be fitting that
the United Kingdom Government,
led by a woman Prime Minister,
should ratify this instrument on
the date when all victims of
exploitation, discrimination,

degradation, oppression and per¬
secution are remembered: Human
Rights Day.

Paisley and Ulster

From Mr K- N. McGill
Sir, Miss Dervla Murphy
(November 28; finds it tempting
to dismiss Ian Paisley as a half-
crazed buffoon because he has
succumbed to the temptation to
call Mrs Thatcher a liar and a
traitor.

But there is nothing personal
about these courtesies. A few
years ago you yourself described
Mr Paisley as “the Rev Dr”
although the only formal quali¬
fication he held was a diploma
from Ballymena Tech.

He is someone who has heated
the system which treated and still
treats his people with contempt;
he and Rory O’Brady of the IEA
are brothers under the. skin.
Paisley believes that God is with
Hwn and 0*Rrady believes, that
history will absolve him.

To beat this sort of brew
requires more than adding a
shriller element to the contempt.
Anyway, Paisley’s flock know
that person-to-person, away from
the arena, he is a caring minister
even if his training was unortho-.
dox.

Scarman and positive discrimination

From the Reverend Ham) Potter Britain unthinkable in recent
Sir, One of the commonest years, police battles have almost
mtiriinns nf th» Srarmart ivaaiy become a feature of life in some

From the Reverend Harry Potter
Sir, One of the commonest
criticisms of the Scarman report
is that it takes no account of, and
indeed denies the existence of,
institutional racism in this coun¬
try. Its existence is debatable;
what is not open to doubt is that
many people believe it exists, and
this is a major stumbling block to
getting blacks to put their faith
in, or participate in. the normal
procedures for social advance. If
people have no trust in our
organs of government, or edu¬
cation, or law, if they doubt that
white judges and an all-white
Parliament will really represent
their interests or enact equitable
laws, or that a white police force
will administer the law justly,
then their fears and frustrations
may be channelled into violence.

Lord Scarman has alreadv
urged that the police make all
efforts to recruit officers from
ethnic minority groups. Imperial
College have said that they will
make allowance for the poorer
educational attainments of chil¬
dren from deprived areas. This is
the sort of “positive discrimi¬
nation” which most universities
make for mature students, and
which Oxbridge colleges carry
out for candidates from compre¬
hensive schools who are often
admitted on A-Ievel results and
interview without sitting the
entrance exam for which their
schools are ill-equipped to pre¬
pare them. The final degree
standard remains the same for
all. Allowance is made for those
with ability but who have suf¬
fered some relative educational
disadvantage.

So far so good. It is most
important, however, that the
political parties make an effort to
prove their commitment to racial
justice. First of all they could
nominate several black or Asian
peers for the New Year’s
Honours List. This would be an
immediate and direct way of
showing that we wish to allow
blacks to participate in the
political structures of our coun¬
try.

Secondly, all the parties could
nominate an appreciable number
of black candidates for the next
general election. In both these
actions the major parties would
be working together, sharing the
possible political approbrium and
demonstrating a concerted deter¬
mination to get something done.

This would go a long way to
restore or enhance the confi¬
dence of the e thni c minorities in
our political institutions; it would
demonstrate dramatically that
their commitment to racial har¬
mony end equality was more than
mere lip service and it would give
the tie to the belief that our
institutions are racist.

If our police force and schools,
onr legal and government organs'
can prove that they . .are instru¬
ments for the fair advancement
of all, then we may go a long way
to preventing noting in the
streets or the equally dispiriting
apathetic nihilism of so many of
our young people.

Yours faithfully,

From MrF. I. M. Ryan
Sir, The Scarman report makes
some criticism of the police and
certainly none of us is perfect,
but the British police force has
for long been the envy of the
world and the pride of the British
people, not only for its
efficiency, calm courage and
resourcefulness, but particularly
also for its friendly helpfulness
and its patience ana good-
humoured tolerance at all times.

Whereas to strike a policeman
or even to resist arrest was rare
and to the average citizen in

Law on secret ballots

From Mr 1. S. West ley and others
Sir, The Secretary for Employ¬
ment .must now commit himself
to legislative options open to him.
We write to persuade him to de¬
commit himself from today's
statement of intent in the House
of Commons (Parliamentary
Report, November 24), largely
motivated by the Crosby by-elec-
tion^ and to confine his Bill to
making compulsory the election
of all trade union executives by
secret postal ballot from the
shop-floor stewards upwards, and
tbe ballot to be funded, if so
requested, by the Government.

This is a measure which is
impeccably democratic and one
wmch the majority of the people
of our country would wholehear¬
tedly support and certainly not
regard as a policy of confron¬
tation with the unions.

Significantly the broad left and
the left wing of the Labour Party
await in high expectation of Mr

of the big cities and this is
something for which the public
and not the police should be
thoroughly ashamed.

Of course the police must not
be biased against one section of
the community, but if in the daily
experience of their duty they
actually find that one section of
the community is responsible for
by far the highest percentage of
the violent crime in a particular
area their search for culprits is
bound to lead them towards that
section in making their investi¬
gations.

If an Englishman chooses to
live in another country in
Europe, Africa, Asia or else¬
where he must respect the laws
of that country or take the
consequences an'd so indeed must
it be with those who visit our
shores and wish to take up

residence in our beautiful and
richly privileged country with the
many blessings of our traditional
way of life which we treasure and
do not wish to see tarnished.

With all its shortcomings it
may safely be said that nowhere
in the world is the law more
careful to preserve the freedom
and dignity of the individual than
in Britain, but our traditional
respect for the law and for those
appointed to enforce it must be
jealously guarded.

Any show of violence against
the police is a very serious crime
indeed, calling for a very severe
penally, for only when laws are
respected can the liberty of the
individual be upheld and main¬
tained and this is doubly import¬
ant at a time when fifth-column
elements are being systematically
planted in troubled areas for the
specific purpose of fomenting
strife for political ends which, if
successful, would incidentally
replace all freedom with op¬
pression.

Yours sincerely,

From Councillor Trevor Broum
Sir, It is a great pity that Lord
Scarman has failed to take the
opportunity to make a major step
forward in the democratic con¬
trol of the police. He identified a
damaging isolation of the police
from tbe public and the need to
have a greater independent
element in dealing with com¬
plaints against officers.

Both of these aspects are dealt
with reasonably satisfactoriy in
all other areas of local govern¬
ment by the full involvement of
elected representatives. The
simple solution is therefore to
give elected representatives the
same role in the management of
tbe police as they have in roads,
education, fire-fighting, social
services and other aspects of our
community life, instead of the
ineffectual role they are cur¬
rently permitted to play in police
authorities.

It is sometimes said that a
police officer could not control a
riot while taking advice from a
councillor standing behind him.
But . councillors do not stand
behind teachers dealing with an
unruly class, or fire chiefs
tackling a difficult fire. Council¬
lors do, however, decide policy
and guidelines and institute
inquiries when necessary.

At a time when all parties are
pressing for the strengthening of
local government, it would have
been helpful if the Scarman
report had done the same.

Yours etc,

cynical exploitation of the anti-,

put pressure on the Minister to

Memorial trust for
Lord Boyle

From Dame Janet Baker and
others

Sir, Since the death of Lord
Boyle.moving tributes have been
paid to his record of public
service, his wide scholarly inter¬
ests and human sympathies, and
his modesty, kindness and cour¬
age. Many of his admirers in

academic and public life have
suggested that nis work should
be honoured in a permanent
fashion.

Lord Boyle spent 11 years as
Vice-Chancellor of the University
of Leeds, years which he de¬
scribed as his happiest and most
Fulfilling. He had immersed
himself in the university and all
its concerns; and it seemed meet
and right that the university,
together with friends connected
with different spheres of his life
and career, should^ take the
initiative in establishing the
Edward Boyle Memorial Trust.
The Chancellor of the university.
HRH the Duchess of Kent, will
be its patron; and the proposal
has received the warm approval
of Lord Boyle’s sister, Mrs Jack
Gold.

The fund will be devored to the
advancement of education, learn¬
ing and music. Among the
objects immediately in mind are
scholarships, covering part of the
very high fees now levied, for
overseas students of distinction
who could not otherwise come to
British universities. Lord Boyle
cared deeply about Britain’s
overseas connections, especially
those with Commonwealth coun¬
tries.

The trust will provide assist¬
ance to the study of music,
especially in that department at
the University of Leeds; and will
also support a concert of high
distinction, commemorating Lord
Boyle’s chairmanship of the jury
at the Leeds International Piano
Competition. We give these as
examples; the trustees will sup¬
port other initiatives, especially
those which will forward the
many causes with which Lord
Boyle was strongly identified.

May we ask all your readers
who value Lord Boyie's example
to' contribute generously? The
trust will have charitable status,
and gifts by covenant would be
particularly appreciated. Contri¬
butions should be made payable
to the “The Edward Boyle
Memorial Trust” and should be
sent to the Office of the Acting
Vice-Chancellor, the University
of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT.

Romney Marsh

From Mr D.H.L. Hopkinson
Sir, From Mr Nightingale's letter
(Nov. 28) it might be assumed
that all the churches on Romney
Marsh are in Kent and the
Diocese of Canterbury. In fact
the thriving parish of Camber and
the medieval raarsb church of
East Guldeford are both in East
Sussex and Diocese of Chichest¬
er. We are proud that we have
been able to maintain worship
and the marvellous building at
East Guldeford despite the small
population.

All Sussex men have known for
centuries that, we conduct our
affairs and cricket better than
Kent. Would the Romney Marsh
parishes like to come over now
into the Diocese of Chichester?

The Bulldog’s grip

From Mr Christopher Godfrey
Sir, Colonel Capadose's appraisal
of the Bulldog wheel clamp
(November 30) seems to ignore
one obvious consideration.

There cannot be many coun¬
tries in the world where, to
prevent a car causing an obstruc¬
tion, a. device is attached that
ensures tbe obstruction will
continue for the rest of the day.
You might as well cure traffic
jams by budding barricades every
morning and taking them down
several hours later.

now be able, to claim this sum as

University. He found himself
in chvge of a- department
consisting of only 3 members
of staff; when he left St
Andrews in 1973 the staff had
grown to fourteen. This
period was one of university
expansion, but in the country
as a whole Medieval History
did not not benefit as much
as other subjects; indeed the
■university troubles of the late
1960s were marked by the
open hostility of. students,
who expressed a preference
for ‘relevant* studies. Iw.this
climate Butler’s achievement
was extraordinary. Not 'only
did Ins department continue
to grow, instituting a. single
rhonours course' in 'medieval
history, bur it also regtdarly
attracted more students.than
did modern history. Members
of the department who mbved
on to other universities in
the 1970s .could not compre-

botb written in collaboration
with others. But with a bent
for- the broad sweep of
history and the daring gene¬
ralization, he was a magnifi¬
cent lecturer: the Historical
Association Summer Schools
which he directed in 1965,
1966 and 1973. were great
occasions, and the success of
medieval history at St An¬
drews was partly due to the
interest aroused in first-year
students by hid lectures.

. . As - a. departmental and
college bead he was kind and
approachable. He always put
the needs of the students
first and insisted on high
standards -.of professional
condact from his young staff
at St Andrews. -

In 1949 he married Gwen¬
doline Williams, the well-
known novelist, who survives
him together with their only

Allowing for. his illness, it is
nearly seven weeks' since Mr

Allied POW camps all over
Italy, and particularly the
one for EngGsh generals
(among them Generals
Carton de Wiart and Monro)
in the castle of Vmcigliata,
above Florence. Here
Morra's tact, and humour
were as useful as his
thorough knowledge of the
English language and charac¬
ter, though he conscien¬
tiously took no part in the

freedom in Switzerland and
France. -. •

The happiest part of
Morra’s last years, though he
still retained his post in the
Society for International

spent in Cortona, where be

he was **a friend whose sweet

Luxurious returns

“There remains Sebastian”,"
wrote Kingsley Amis in the
course of chucking a . few
well-aimed custard pies at
Brideshead Revisited (Grana¬
da) in the TLS the week
before last. “Every time %.
read the book l ask my¬
self ..." One of the many
curious ' things about
Waugh’s most popular and
most reviled novel is that
those who'' have lone pro¬
nounced it dead of fatal flaws
and frequently eased its way
to the grave cannot resist
returning to the corpse to
confirm the causes of death
and, indeed, to make sure
that death ..has actually
occur ed.

Behind these obsessional
autopsies lies the suspicion
that it may — or, worse, that
parts of it may — still be
alive.'For if Brideshead is no
more than a pathetic, snob¬
bish and empty claim on die
goodwill of the upper classes
and an English^ Catholic god,
cast in the form of a novel
whose leading characters are
all 'either beastly or dull, why
does the phantom - myth sail
on, and the sense of grief and
loss, even when removed
from the Fiyte family
altogether and reduced to
abstraction, remain so mov¬
ing and so strong?

In the film the answer is
plain: acting, direction,

music and design all work
gloriously and- consistently to
the same end. Episode Eight,
“Brideshead Deserted”,
exemplified its skill in three
particular areas: in drawing,
as all long serials must, on
memories of what we nave
already seen; in earing us
over sketchy sections of the ■
novel in which ten years pass

in a paragraph by-using brief
scenes or great visual beauty;
and in introducing,' at each
stage, new characters and
relationships'' which 1 come
sharply alive at once. As
Ryder’s delicious, sad. and
slightly foolish wife Jane
Asher is as perfect as Phoebe
NlchdDs’s Cordelia has -been
throughout. It is luxurious,
and it does luxuriate, but
even at its most attenuated it
is not dull.

The same could not, I am
afraid, be said of Malcolm
Feuerstein’s An Arranged
Marriage (ATV), which was a
weH-mtenuonea and. some¬
times informative synthesis

Midlands, based on
interviews in the area and
presented at length — here
was the mistake —- by
professional actors in drama-
documentary form. It was
not without charm but
offered a great deal too much
background in a naive and
educational manner more

“A bird is:running a theatre,.the.
top one-act play theatre in the
country, probably the world, she
writes three novels, she's running
a home, bringing up two kids, ana
dying of cancer .—.She's got m*.\
toast anyway.” The voice, built to ,
carry the length of Mile End Road
bn a foggy night, belongs to Bob
Hoskins, her© paying, his respects -
io Verity Bargate, the director of
the Soho Poly Theatre until "her
death last May. <

Hoskins has some reason’ for
raising a glass to her memory. As 1
the gangster Harold Shand id The
Long Good Friday, . and lago in
Jonathan Miller’s Othello, he is
everybody's favourite Cockney
actor. Now he is about to break
into Southern Californian territory
in the National Theatre production
of Sam Shepard’s True West. But
there was a. tune - in -the mid-
seventies when he thought he
would never work again.

*T was in the middle of divorce
proceedings and I'd lost contact. 1
couldn’t talk to people or redate to
anything. I was locked up. inside 1
myself. So I wrote this play. The
Bystander, about a Peeping Tom
who lives his. life through this
young girl next door. She has an
abortion and dies; he watches her
die and he disintegrates. In the
play he’s Talking to plants. In real
life I was going over to Regent’s
Park'talking to. ducks. Verity, could
see what I was going through and
she - said ‘You’ve got to do Jhis,
you’ve got to live it out on stags’,
and, bang, it happened. She’d have
the cleaning lady hi at rehearsals
and ask what She- thought of it.
When it opened I.was doing the
show and then going on to a
psychiatrist. But she made me
realize that if I could perform a
one-act play I wasn’t as badly off
as I - thought .1 was. Amazing
woman. Game as a peanut.”

Other people could tell similar
-stories about the -encouragement
and loyalty she gave them, and the

taste.” Irving Wardle examines the theatrical
, .. legacy of Verity Bargate (right).

fine, productions she conjured out
of their work. The Poly in her time
was "a good place to start (Mary
O'Malley and James Robson were
among those it launched), and it
had a soft spot for underdogs. But
it -was never a theatrical soup-
kitchen. To a unique degree ^ it
combined non-exclusiveness with
high professionalism; the only clue
to the formula being Summed up in
the . mystejy factor of “Verity’s
taste”: Hoskins, again, is speaking
for other people as well when he
says ■ “Her 1 spirit must be con¬
tinued.” ■:

Up to a point it is continuing.
She was -planning the theatre's
advance programme until the end
of her life, and one of the last
ilays she commissioned — a piece
Tony .Marchant (author of
^ .dek as Thieves) —- arrives at the
Poly next January. Also the film
.rights of her' novel Children
Crossing have been sold . for
production by Barry Hanson (who
made-The Long Good Friday.) But
beyond these transitory links with
the past, - another means has been
devised of keeping her name alive.

In the opinion of her friends and
colleagues (and in mine too), she
was the most persistent and
effective encourager of new writ¬
ing talent in the English theatre
since George Devine. And just as
the father of the Royal Court
found his memorial in the George
Devine Award, so will she find
hers in a Verity Bargate Award, to
be given annually for “a play
suitable for production in the Soho
Poly’s lunchtime season” (terms
that reflect her dislike of dis¬
tinguishing between short and full-

length plays, and her hatred of
labelling anything as “the best”).

The award consists of a prize of
£1,000 and a guaranteed pro¬
duction; also the winning entry
and the two runners-up will be
published by Eyre-Methuen. En¬
tries are being invited from January
31, to coincide with a fund-raising
night at the Round House —
including extracts from Soho Poly
pi a vs, readings from the novels,
ana other aspects of her work —
and the award will be made on
August 6. which commemorates
her birthday and the dropping of
the Hiroshima bomb.

There is an inbuilt tendency for
artistic awards to become institu¬
tionalized as their originating
purpose subsides ' into committee
work and today's open market
becomes tomorrow's closed shop.
But there is a good chance in this
case that the door will be kept
open. For one thing, the judges
announced so far amount to a
cross-section of the profession,
including acting (Hoskins, Char-
lone Cornwell), writing (Barrie
Keeffe, Howard Bremen), publish¬
ing (Nick Hern) and women’s
theatre (Ann Mitchell) — all of
them people who knew her very
well and capable of making a
shrewd guess at “Verity’s taste.”

The other hopeful point is that,
even though the terms omit to say
so, nothing larger than an hour-
length piece will qualify for the
Poly’s lunchtime season. A short
play no less than a full-length plav
may be a masterpiece. But snort
plays never make anybody a
fortune; they never turn into the
sort of “property” that diverts the
author from writing into creative

accountancy and keeping track of
his German royalties.

In 1977 it happened that the Poly
transferred seven plays to tele¬
vision, but that success changed
nobody’s life, and left the theatre
bee to continue in its chosen
course of fertile semi-obscurity.
Bargate once commissioned a piece
from Barrie Keeffe, saying she
could only pay three actors but ihe
theatre did have some corrugated
iron. The result was Keeffe's
Abide Yftth Me trilogy, in which to
the day I die I shall remember Karl
Johnson as the impotemly enraged
Cup supporter leaping up, ham¬
mering, and beating nis head on
that iron wall. Subsequently, Abide
With Me went on in Diisseldorf
with levels that went up and down
on hydraulic lifts on a budget of
£30,000. Keeffe meanwhile was off
writing Sits, another shoestring
piece suitable for production in the
Poly's lunchtime season.

Giver the past 30 years, the
British theatre has killed almost as
many writers as it has discovered,
each one broken under the
millstone of early success. Special¬
ists in short plays, on the other
hand, are prone to the discourage¬
ments of unrewarded obscurity.
What the Bargate Award could do
is to adjust the balance in their
favour — offering a bit more
money, a bit more public attention
for writers who are doing good
work today and will go on to do
good work tomorrow.

“If", says Hoskins, “I had a
chance of seeing Ben Hur in
stereophonic cirderama with
Charlton Heston dripping in
glycerine, or seeing my Uncle Fred
doing the whole thing, horses as
weU, in the front room with a
towel for a toga, I’d be going for
him every time. Same with Verity.
She was the original punter with
amazing taste. She was a street
artist, creating a paving stone
that’s beautiful. Then the rain
comes down and it's gone.”

Opera

Leading ladies together in Paris

Semiramide/

Per RosenkavaUer

Theatre des Champs
Elysees, Paris

No sounds more' beguiling
are likely to come from the
opera stage this year than
those of Montserrat Caballe
and Marilyn Horne inter¬
weaving their voices . in
Rossini. The two ladies are
singing in Semiramide at the
moment in the Theatre des
Champs Elysfees, where the
Paris Opera is in temporary
exile "while alterations are
made to its home theatre, and
those who care about bri
canto should beg or thieve a
ticket to liddr them'.

The oddest dementof a
rare evening is that the two
ladies should have been so
little heard together • in
Rossini. Caballe showed her¬
self a remarkable interpreter
of that composer’s, music
back in her earliest recitals
for RCA, yet at Covent
Garden all too often she has
been cast in dramatic parts
which have not always shown
her at her best — Aida,
Leonora, Violetta. Horne is
now approaching veteran
status, although she never
allows anyone to guess it: it
is well over a quarter of a
century since she dubbed
Dorothy Dandridge’s voice in
Carmen Jones. She has dug
deep into the- Rossini reper¬
tory, including Semirwnide'
with Sutherland, yet it is
Caballe who really strikes the
sparks from her.

The sparks of competition
are exactly what Rossini, and
Semiramide in particular,
requires. He wrote his opera
according to a set pattern of
a display aria for coloratura
soprano and; coloratura
mezzo in each act. coupled
with a pair pf lengthy duets
to dispel the impression of
any rivalry that might have
been generated- No opera
composer was more pro-

Ttae elysian duet of Montserrat Caballe (left) and Marilyn
Horne in “Senrirainide”; and Kiri Te Kanawa (above), a
fine Marschallin in the making.

Sessional. In the concert hall
— and recording studio it
is the ..arias which have
survived, notably Semira-
mide’s “Bel raggio
lusingbier” as she' waits in
the Hanging Gardens of
Babylon for the return of her
general, Arsace, and . his
entry cavatina “Ectonn
alfine in Babilonia” — Rossi¬
ni’s librettist Rossi might
have traded in lofty senti¬
ments ' but he . used some
fairly prosaic words. But in
the theatre, with Caballe and
Horne, it is the duets which
enrapture above all,-the vocal
lines crisscrossing as in the
most delicate filigree. The
match of the two voices
seems to have been made in
some musical ely&ium.

! Bernard Lefort brought
Caballe and Horne together
the summer before last in
Semiramide at Aix when he
was still running the festival
there. Since then Pier Luigi
Pizzi’s quirky production,
which teeters on the edge of
the ridiculous, has been on
the move, to Genoa, to Turin
(with Ricciarelli and Valenti-
ni-Terrain), to San Francisco
(with Caballe and Horne, as
at Aix) and now to Paris, a
just stopping point since
Lefort is Administrator of
the Opera.

Pena, one of a growing and
often untrustworthy breed of
designer-producers, takes # a
fantastic view of Rossini’s
chosen libretto, loosely based

on Voltaire. Babylon, looks,
like a giant Persil commer¬
cial, where all is dazz l i n gly
white; right- down to the
subsidiary characters, who
look as if they have been
chipped, poor things, plaster
ana all, from some enormous
frieze. Their arms protrude
from sandwich-boards, . like
whitewashed playing-card
figures from Alice. •

Marmoreal, opera, indeedl
Semiramide ana Arsace alone
are excused such eccen¬
tricities, although both are
topped with silvery wigs the
texture of candyfloss. The
production consists mainly of
swishing enormous cloaks
across the stage," either, to
express emotion or to indi¬
cate a change from aria to
cabaletto. Pizzi’s alibi is that
the libretto is an amalgam of
all that detractors of opera
find preposterous in the
genre, right through to the
close where Arsace mistakes
the ample form of Semira-
mide (who has by then been
revealed as his mother) as the
lean and hungry villain of the
piece and runs a sword
through- her. (Mention not
the name of Oedipus.)_ Arsace
hovers between suicide and
rejoicing that the gods vrill
now lift their curse from
Babylon; with the minimum,
of debate be opts for the
latter and the first of the two
alternative endings Rossini
wrote for the opera.

So much has to be endured

in the name of bel canto and
it is endured with joy when
Caballe and Horne are in the
peak of vocal condition,
perfoming the music they
sing best of all. They inspire
one another and they inspire
the rest of the cast. Fran¬
cisco Araiza, the young
Mexican tenor who-should be
heard as soon as possible in
the theatre in London,
showed Himself more than
capable of sustaining Rossi¬
ni’s florid line in the role of
Idreno, the Indian prince
whose involvement with the
plot is minimal. Samuel
Ramey, cadaverous of ap¬
pearance and sumptuous of
voice as the triple-dyed
villain Assur, proved once
again that he is pushing
himself into the front rank of
bass-baritones. Fine contri¬
butions come from the con¬
ductor, Jesus Lopez-Cobos,
and his double chorus centre
and side stage.

After a house which
rightly cheered every number

kaoaUer . looked distinctly
duIL On paper it promised
welL Kiri Te Kanawa chose
the Op£ra for her first
Marschallin and her motives

reciprocated. By her side
were Frederike von Stade,
rhan whom there is no better
or more aristocratic Octavian
today, and Kurt MolL whose

Ochs ripens by the month
without getting overblown.

And yet it did not work.
Hans Hartleb’s production is
drab and Ezio Frigerio’s
setting drabber still. Frige-
rio, usually a most scrupu¬
lous designer, in an uncon¬
vincing programme - note
writes that he has visualized
the action of Rosenkavalier
“dans un reve loin de la
realite”. The dream turns out
to be little more than Vienna
seen through a fog, a central
European version of a Lon¬
don Particular, which reach¬
es the culmination of idio-
syncracy by setting the last
act inside the gateway of a
Heurigen. The idea of Ochs
planning a seduction with a
chill breeze blowing the
autumn leaves around his
feet bears-little examination.

The most horrible heroine of all?

Dreaming about
Therese

Guildhall School

Fesri- "“5

At the 1974 Edinburgh Festi¬
val I was much taken by the
Swedish composer
Johann Werle’s Drdmmen om
Therese, an opera conceived
for performance “in the
round”, without, physical
scenery and with the orches¬
tra behind and surrounding
the audience- I then rec¬
ommended it to any touring
opera company here, optimis¬
tically as .the recession
turned out. _. ... .:_

. Seven years later it is the

opera' class at the Guildhall

School of Music and Drama
in the Barbican which has
staged the British premiere.

Theatre in the round, for
an audience, is more often
than not merely a gimmick
which may or may not make
a play more interesting or
enlightening. Dreaming about
Therese, which treats a Zola
short story to .the flashback
struc t u ral ' technique of
Aldous Huxley's novel Eye¬
less in Gaza, events shown
out of sequence, needs arena,
production, because the
drama involves close partici¬
pation - by the surrou nding
orchestra,. and. 'by- instru-.
ments played on stage.

There is. a blind fiddler, a
mute stranger who communi¬

cates on his guitar, and a
hero who plays the flute as
often as he sings.

The heroine. Therese, is
beautiful, and a sadistic
bitch: she torments the
hunchback who loves -her,
murders him, then persuades
the neighbour, who also
adores her, to get rid of -the
corpse in return for a night
of love. He realizes the truth
and, having done bis task,
throws himself into the
water, after the ' corpse,
leaving Therese free to marry
a rich suitor.

The orchestral playing,
conducted by Peter Ford,
was exemplary ip neatness
and enthusiasm but did not
make all -the spatial effects
desirable (for example the

violin duets of hero and
heroine), perhaps - because
the . fourth side of the
auditorium was unavailable.

Further performances are
this evening, and on Friday,
at 6.15 and 8.30, with leading
roles cast in duplicate. My
cast had a stiff Jalien, a
sympathetic Colombel, an
excellent maid-servant, and a
beautiful, cold, properly
nasty Therese (she, must
compete with VitelKa and
Lady, Macbeth for the most
horrible heroine in opera). It
was, rather to my surprise, a
less vital experience than the
Swedish production: opera
students should find Therese

Concerts

Finding the missing link

Bournemouth

Sinfonietta/

Montgomery

Queen Elizabeth Hall

Three symphonies from the
third quarter of the eight¬
eenth century and two guitar
concertos from 1939 made up
Monday's concert by the
Bournemouth Sinfonietta.
The missing link, unless it
was fortuitous, was provided
by Boccherini, that emigre
Italian (like Castelnuovo-
Tedesco) who was seduced by
the colours and the rhythms
of Spain (like Rodrigo).

His Casa del Diavolo sym-
is not one of his more

hisparuc pieces, except per¬
haps in the stylized gavotte
that makes up its slow
movement, a curiously wist¬
ful, minor-key piece rail of
syncopations, textures and
harmony but conspicuously
short on themes: its finicky
handling of detail has echoes
in Rodngo. After it comes a
surprise, a finale which is a
recomposition of Gluck’s
Don Juan chaconne, the
piece which we all know as
the “Dance of the Furies” in
Orphee , here made a shade

RPO/T emirkanov
Festival Hall

For the second night running
Berlioz was the main focus of
musical attention -at the
Festival Hall on Monday,
when the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra included the 5pm-
phonie Fantastique as the
second part of their "piro-
t. It" was the first of
concerts they are
this week with Yuri
emirkanov, who directs the
Kirov Opera in Leningrad
and also bolds the title or the
RPO’s principal guest con¬
ductor, and whose approach
to Berlioz was decidedly
equivocal.

There are those who pre¬
sent fHis symphony as, a
collage of romantic im¬
pressions, others who seek to
suggest the fevered states of
a disordered mind, and some
who try to combine both. It

more civilized, to its disad¬
vantage'. The Bournemouth
players did it with due spirit,
though the middle movement
might have profited from
greater polish.

They played another rarity
and oddity, a symphony by
Thomas Arne. It shows Arne
straining, Peter Pan-iike, in a
novel idiom. Often the musk
shoots off into old-fashioned
baroque unisons and sturdy
Handelian basses; and when
it inches towards classicism
it halts too regularly for
cadences- Kenneth Montgo¬
mery would have served it
better by reading its finale as
a galant minuet, needing
more time for its elegance to
be realized.

The guitar concertos
offered revealing contrast.
Castelnuovo-Tedesco was the
technician supreme, a kind of
arrested-development Men¬
delssohn whose command far
outpaced what be had to say.
The piece is exquisitely
orchestrated, with the light¬
est of touches, and with a
gentle wit that lets him
introduce, delicate, new
counterpoints every time aan
idea recurs, and they recur a
lot. Sometimes the piece
seems like an exercise in
saying different things in the

a special

talent to make it sound
pedestrian, even dull in-
places, yet, for all his
attention to the face value of
the notes (and the empty
bars) written into the score,
this was the impression I bad
from Mr Temirkanov’s per¬
formance.

His whirling arms, clutch¬
ing hands and absence of
baton combine into a dis¬
tracting kind of technique,
one that often gets between
the sounds the orchestra
makes and the listener trying
to absorb them; but. apart
from this much- of his
conducting of Berlioz relied
on volume, whether loud or
softr.on contrasts of dynam¬
ics, rather than brilliance or
subtlety of instrumental
colour (though there were
notable solo contributions
from principal clarinet and
cor anglais).

The ponderous course of
the symphony’s performance

Rock

Shakfn’ Stevens

Odeon, Hammersmith

As a kit of parts. — raven
rinse, glottal gulp, rotating
hips, pink blouson — making
up a rockabilly Action Man,
Snakin’ Stevens would have
passed muster alongside Ral
Dormer, Jet Powers, Conway
Twitty and the other second
division Presleys who
lated the late Fifties,
most revivalists, he is not a
refugee from more recent
fashions, and his long-term
commitment has conferred
an easy confidence within the
idiom.

Ten years ago, when he
was rather closer to the right
age for the job, Stevens
enlivened the early rock and
roll revival shows with an
intense, authentic delivery of
the classic repertoire; he
seemed to be a Welsh
country boy who had never
heard the Beatles. Years of
obscurity were ended when
Jack Good cast him in Elvis,
and over the past year a
clever campaign has elevated
him to that species of pop
stardom in which the subject
becomes a teddy-bear for the
pre-teens, a sex symbol for
young mums and a kitsch
joke to. those in between.

There is always a price for
such success. While hitting a

commercially acceptable
vein; Stuart Colman’s clever
production of Stevens's cur¬
rent recordings has extracted
all the bite and threat which
Dave Edmunds, in a similar
capacity, drew from the
singer in the version of
“Train Kept A-RoDin’ ” which
remains perhaps the most
spectacularly intense British
interpretation of the rocka-

S J®

is process of taming was
reflected in Monday night’s
show, a curiously tame affair
in which Stevens presented
all his hits (“Green Door”,
“This Old House” and so on),
danced very cutely in a
mann er combining the young
Presley’s provocative con¬
vulsions with the more sty¬
lized choreography of West
Side Story, and showed signs
of strain in his voice. The
talents of his pianist, Geraint
Watkins, and his guitarist,
Mickey Gee, were largely
wasted, and Stevens’s flir¬
tatious with the girls who
bombarded him with roses
and kisses seemed depres-
singly parodistic.

Most of all, the spectacle
lacked internal energy. On
the road to Top of the Pops ,
Stevens appears to have been
cured of the restricted vision
which once made him con¬
vincing and even interesting.

Richard Williams

same way, perhaps just the
same thing in different ways:
he piles ostinato upon ostina-
to, some long, some short,
each with a dozen glosses.
Never mind if the invention
is slender, its working out is
masterly.

The young guitarist
Michael Conn played it with
proper delicacy, relishing its
lazy rhythms and dawdling
affectionately over them,
varying his textures to set off
the variety of accompani¬
ments. and finding a proper
excitement for the finale
cadenza. But in Rodrigo’s
Conderto De Aranjuez he had
qiare scope for colour, in the
heady suggestions of languid
nights in the Spanish gar 7
dens, those of moorish §pain
in the Adagio with its wailing
English horn and obqe and
indeed guitar. He had.trouble
with slipping strings, and his
shaping of the big cadenza
was not quite assured; but
there was real poetry and
charm in his playing.

Last, Mozart's thirty-third
symphony, to restore a sense
of values; not an especially
careful or refined perform¬
ance, and thinnish in violin
tone, but in its way lively and
agreeably cheerful.

Stanley Sadie

had been anticipated at the
-start of the programme by a
voyage to The Hebrides, in
the form of Mendelssohn's
overture, which made su'h
heavy weather of she excur¬
sion that the music acquired
the weightiness ■ of a Beet¬
hoven symphonic movement.
Between thesf works came
Mozart’s G, major Piano
Concerto (K 453) with a
welcome lightness of spirit in
the overall ensemble but
something less than reward¬
ing delight in the under-
characterized playing of
Christian Zacharias.

The pianist began grace¬
fully enough, with nimble
passage-work and keen
rhythmic articulation, choos¬
ing the first of the two
cadenzas Mozart provided in
this and the following slow
movement to agreeable pur¬
pose. Yet the performance
had no wider vision of the
harmonic skill behind the
musical invention, and I was
sorry the cheerful variations

of the finale were despatched
with cool efficiency rather
than the warm affection that
belongs to them.

Refinery
plan for Eire

A £300m oil refinery is plan¬
ned at Tarbert, in County
Kerry, with a capacity of
150,000 barrels a day. The plan
contrasts with closures and cut¬
backs elsewhere in Europe.

A planning application was
lodged by Aran Energy, an
Irish company, yesterday. The
refinery would create an aver¬
age of 2,000 jobs each year-Jbe-
tween 1983 and 1986, according
to tbe company, and would ulti¬
mately employ about 400.

It would be built beside the
Irish Electricity Supply Board’s
oil-fired power station ar Tar¬
bert and across the Shannon
from the board’s coal/oil-fired
station being built at Money-
point.

Ireland imports more than 60
per cent of its refined products

BUSINESS BRIEFING

Private phones legalized

British Telecom is allowing
four models of telephone to go
on sale in private shops immed¬
iately. They will be the first
that legally can be sold and
attached to the telephone net¬
work.

The four—GEC’s Contempra,
STC's Deltapbone deluxe
Ressey’s . Mickey . Mouse . and
Tborn-Ericsson's Astrofon—are
already offered for rental by
Telecom so they do not need
technical approval. In the new
year British Telecom will start
selling telephones itself from
“phoueshops" in department
stores.

Until an independent
approvals process has been

Hanson profit
boosted 27 pc

A big increase in American
earnings helped Hanson Trust
to report yesterday a 27 per
cent increase in annual pre-tax
profits to £49.7m. The group is
presently engaged with Thomas
Tilling in a takeover battle for
Berec, manufacturer of Ever
Ready batteries.

Group sales were 25 per cent
higher at £8S5Sm. The final
dividend is being raised to
821p gross, making I429p
gross for the year, against:
1214p. Hanson also announced

The Dailu Express and its
associated titles is up for sale.
Lord Matthews, chief execu¬
tive of Trafalgar House and
chairman of Express News¬
papers told print union leaders
yesterday that the tides he
bought three years ago will be
sold as soon as a buyer can
be found. ■

Trafalgar House Investments,
of which he is ebainoan, has
become “ disenchanted ” with
the indifferent financial opera¬
tion at Express Newspapers,
which was taken over from
the Beaverbrook Group for
£15m in 1977.

However, there is no early
prospecr of the closure of the
Daily Express, nor its sister
Sunday Express, nor the Daily
Star, despite heavy losses being
incurred by die group.

In the wake of rop-Ievei
managerial disputes which last
.week prompted the dismissal
of Mr Jocelyn Srevens, the
Express managing director,
the company is discussing a
change in its title to Fleet
Newspapers. This would com¬
prise the Daily and Sunday
Express. the Daily Star and
the Morgan/Grampian publish¬
ing group, purchased three
years ago at a cost of £23m.

Tin market

causing

concern

By Michael Prest
Economics Correspondent
Concern is mounting at the
reluctance of the London Metal
Exchange authorities to inter¬
vene in a disorderly tin mar¬
ket. Most traders are advising
clients to keep out.

Persistent buying of spot tin
yesterday pushed up the cash
price by £35 to £8,390 a tonne.
But a £272.50 increase in the
three-months price cut the
backwardation—-tbe reverse of
tbe normal premium of for¬

Lord Matthews: Express
titles for sale.

In talks with the print
union SOGAT last night. Lord
Matthews proposed a recon¬
struction of his publishing
enterprises that would involve
issuing “ free ” shares to
Trafalgar House shareholders
in Fleet Newspapers. This
initiative was sanctioned by the
provisions of the 1981 Finance
Act that earleir this year per¬
mitted companies to make
changes of this sort to give
expensive tax concessions to
investors.

Trafalgar House, it is argued,
will continue to provide loan
stock which could then be con¬
vened into shares if a take¬
over bid is finalized, and this
would give existing proprietors
the final say in takeover and
merger negotiations.

There are still strong
suggestions that Associated
Newspapers, publishers of the
Daily Mail, wants to link up
with the Express group to
publish one daily paper, with
policies sympathetic to the
present Government.

Mr Stevens was dismissed

Textile
efs in
plea over
imports

By Oar Industrial Staff

1*he Government was
attacked yesterday for fading
to persuade the European
Community to adopt suffi¬
ciently firm import controls to
save the British textile and
clothing industry.

A week before the EEC
Council of Ministers meets to
decide on terms for renewal
of the Multi-Fibre Arrange¬
ment, Mr Russell Smith,
president of the British
Textile Confederation, said:
“The Community’s position
at present falls far snort of
the Government’s declared
eim cf a tough and effective
successor to MFA.

“It is therefore essential
that, before the Council of
Ministers meets, the Govero-
m?nt should review its own
policy and tactics and should
resolve to Fight for a tough¬
ening of the Community’s
mandate.”

Fie said it should concen¬
trate on reducing import
quotas to 1980 levels and
bringing rates of growth
dnwn to an average of 1 per
cent a year.

“Any failure by the
Government to press the
ne^d for a toughening of the
EEC approach in these criti¬
cal areas_will have very

serious consequences for the
industry, for the British
economy and for regions of
the United Kingdom already
suffering high levels of
unemployment”, he said.

Mr Peter Rees, Minister of
Slate for Trade, was pre¬
sented with similar argu¬
ments yesterday at a meeting
with the British Textile
Employers' Association,
whose president, Mr Harry
Leach, expressed his disap-

f 'oimment at the Government
or settling for 1982 quota
rates.

Mr Norman Susstnan, of
the British Clothing In¬
dustries Association, went
further, saying: “If this liae
is maintained the industry
will see it as nothing less
than a scli-out.”

Shipbuilders set
to beat £700m
orders this year

By Peter Hill, Industrial Editor

British Shipbuilders is
expected to exceed £700m
worth of new orders dais
year.

The corporation an¬
nounced yesterday that it had
won two more export orders,
together worth £28m, boost¬
ing the value of contracts to
£689m with more expected
before the end of the month.

The latest orders coincide
with announcements by two
other public sector concerns
of new contracts worth £40m.

The British Steel Corpor¬
ation’s Tubes division is to
supply £10m worth of steel
Linepipe to link Shell Explo¬
ration and Production’s natu¬
ral gas liquids plants at St
Fergus, Aberdeenshire, and
Mossmorran, Fife.

Altogether, BSC is, to
supply 142 miles of 20-inch
diameter pipeline from its
Hartlepool pipe mill. The line
will take gas liquids from the
gas separation plant at St.
Fergus to the fractionation
plant at Mossmorran.

Rolls-Royce, the State-
controlled aero engine manu¬
facturer, is to supply “mini”
power stations worth £30m to
the Middle East- The electric

generating sets, to be built at
Anstey, near Coventry, are
powered by Olympus turbo¬
jet aircraft engines and are
able to produce 280,000
kilowatts of electricity.

The shipbuilding orders
were announced on the eve
of Mr Robot Atkinson, die
British Shipbuilders chair¬
man, appearing before a
Parliamentary Select Com¬
mittee today. They are for
two bulk carriers — one of
35,000 tonnes deadweight, the
other of 31,000 tonnes dead¬
weight — to be built at
Sunderland Shipbuilders for
Panamanian-based owners.

The orders bring die total
value of merchant ship
orders won by British Ship¬
builders this year to almost
£ 38020 . In ■ addition, the
corporation has won orders
for two semi-submersible
drilling rigs, worth £139m,
and warships, worth almost
£170m.

□ The Austrian electronics
group Kapsch is to cooperate
with Racal Tacticom in
producing Racal military
vehicle radios for the Aus¬
trian forces. The contract
value of around £23m will be
shared by the two companies.

Reagan in
policy
talks with
US : unions

By Rupert Morris

President Reagan is att¬
empting to repair bis badly-
damaged links with organized
labour this week through a
series of briefings at the
White House for the heads of
nearly 50 trade unions. .

The meetings, complete
with cabinet-level luminaries
and full press coverage, were
scheduled hastily late last
month after the powerful
AFL-CIOi America’s largest
trade union, broke with
tradition and failed to invite
Mr Reagan to address its
annual conference.

Since then, Mr Lane Kirk¬
land, head of the AFL-CIO,
has made numerous state¬
ments accusing Mr Reagan of
adopting policies designed to
aid the rich at the expense of
the working class.'

His openly hostile remarks
about the president have
gained Mr Kirkland consider¬
able publicity in recent
weeks, prompting the White
House to issue invitations to
labour leaders for the meet-

ost important of the
s will be tomorrow
wnen Mr Reagan is to confer
with the AFL-CIO’s powerful
executive council, comprised
of toe presidents of 33 major
anions

Labour leaders are ex¬
acted to confront the pres¬
ent with statements made by
Mr David Stockman that die
Mr Reagan’s policies are
really designed to help the
rich, who will in turn make
investments that will eventu¬
ally aid the poor.

With unemployment ex¬
pected to be 9 per cent by the
end of the year, onion leaders
want some sign from Mr
Reagan that he also intends
to help working people.

But labour is unlikely to be
receptive to Mr Reagan’s
overtures in the opinion of
trade onion officials, who
note that five heads of
important trade unions chose
to boycott the White House
meetings to protest at Mr
Reagan’s policies.

AA says Europe less efficient

IN BRIEF

Carmakers ‘waste energy t0 ^ a z

Inefficient energy use by
some West European car
manufacturers compared
with those in Japan could
help explain their apparent
lack of competitiveness, it
was suggested yesterday at a
London conference on manu¬
facturing trends in the
indusoy.

Many European manufac¬
turers waste energy at
several critical stages* of
manufacture, Mr Marcus
Jacobson, chief engineer of
the Automobile Association
said. He told the conference,
organized by the Institution
of Mechanical Engineers,
that op to a third extra
energy was wasted in many
European plants which had
been built or refurbished in.
the past two decades-

More than half the pro-;
duction cost of a European
car was accounted for by
materials and about 30 per
cent by manufacturing. .

Japanese cars required
between 20 per cent and 30
per cent less energy in
manufacturing. Because of
that many old . established
European . ma n u fa c t urers
both of cars and components
faced a difficult future be--

Bv" Derek Harris

cause of the likely rises in
the cost of energy.

“A radical reassessment of
energy utilization daring all
phases of production is
urgently called for”, Mr
Jacobson said.

‘ There was little point in
modernization* and introduc¬
tion of new technology, such
as robotics, unless manning
levels were also tackled, he
added. British plants tended
to sprawl, were widely dis¬
persed and were being oper¬
ated at uneconomic levels of
plant use. •

There was scope in north
American as well as United
Kingdom factories to reduce
heat losses and energy; con¬
sumption, he said.

But Mr Cedric Emery,
manager of production and
plant engineering at BL’s
Land-Rover factory at Soli¬
hull, near . Bir mingham ,

claimed that at SolilmH Land-
Rover now had a .facility
.which would be in use into
.the next decade.-.This plant
Was as advanced as any in toe
world for engine production.
Big changes in component
supply were forecast by Mr
Brian Knibb, European auto¬
motive group manager at A T

Kearney. Two-thirds of the'
cost of the average vehicle in
Europe went on components
from outside suppliers. He
forecast that international
sourcing of components by
European makers would rise
from 10 per cent to' about 25.
per cent.

There would be a reduction
of a third In the number of
suppliers serving the' Euro¬
pean industry, he suggested.

Advances m the ' use of
various plastics in car manu
facture were described in a
number of papers at the
conference, including new
moulding systems for glass
fibre-reinforced. 'plastics.
These not only gave design
flexibility, high. strengh
compared with metals, and
much lighter weight, than
metals, but had competitive
tooling costs and moderate
finishing COStS.

Prototype front and rear
doors at Peugeot in plastics
showed 37. per cent weight
savings on traditional metal
construction and on a Ford
light truck tailgate the
weight saving was 27 per
cent. Plastics are also being
developed to cope with ve¬
hicle parts under high stress.

Salient points from the Annual
Statement by the Chairman,

Sir Gerald Thorley, TD t FR1CS.

Enj Against a background of
economic recession and
continuing high interest rates
worldwide, pre-tax profits rose
during the year by 28%, earnings
per share by 23% and net assets
per share by 30%.

EttI The extremely good results
underline the success of MEPCs
policy of expansion following
the difficult years from 197S to
1977. Dividends per Ordinary
share have risen from 1.7p in
1977 to this year’s proposed total
distribution of 6.5p.

Group assets stand for the
first time at over £1 billion. Of the
increase in net asset value per
share of 87p, a particularly
strong performance in Australia
accounted for 25p of the uplift,
excluding currency gains.

EttI Shareholders’funds have
increased over the year from £484
million to £646 million. Our bor¬
rowing ratio continues to reduce
and loan capital now represents
45% of shareholders’ funds.

B We have, where practical,
retained the full equity interest
in our projects during develop¬
ment by the use of medium-
term bank loans. The success of
this policy is readily apparent.

Our investment portfolio in
the United Kingdom continues
to be the bedrock of the Group
and represents 69% of Group
assets. Despite the basic
weakness of the U.K economy
our business has remained
buoyant with vacant properties
currently accounting for less
than 2Vz% of the U.K rent roll
and generally good rental
increases being obtained on
reviews and reversions.

It could be a lifeline for the

Mr Barnes . is finance

age - holiday companies in
persuading agents to move
into selling holidays by
computer. Olympic expects to

son is forecasting a compute¬
rized hook-up with 2,000
•agents by the middle of next
year, accounting for 80 per

With computerization high
street agents can offer cus¬

. Allied-Lyons has confirmed the benefits
of its recent savage -rationalization
action with an impressive 30 per cent
advance in half-year, pretax profits to
£65.Sm and a balance sheet on a
healthier footing. In brewery activities
Allied managed a 6 per cent rise in beer
profits despite the 6 per cent national
decline in peer consumption resulting
from the squeeze on consumer spend¬
ing and duty increases. Reduced losses
from its Dutch Skol subsidiary, to
£500,000 against £2.5m, helped the
increase and further benefits are
expected over the full year.

Overcapacity in the United Kingdom
industry still looms despite five million
barrels lost in the United Kingdom
market over two years. The Ansells
closure took one million barrels out of
Allied. And though it will take time to
repair the damage, the group believes it
can increase its market share. Second-
half beer sales are traditionally slacker,
but a similar performance is expected.

Profits from J. Lyons continue to

year’s loss elimination and a particu¬
larly strong Deiformance again came

Tokyo

Mr Toshio Iguchi, 31, is
president of. a one m»n
company on the outskirts of
Tokyo out spends most of his
working hours relaxing on
the golf course,

. His life style might appear
incongruous with his start¬
ling record for productivity
but it serves as an ape
example of how a revolution
is beginning to overtake
Japan’s cottage industries —
the myriad of small back¬
yard family factories and
nib-contractors which forms
the base of the country's
industrial strength.

Mr Iguchi spends most of
his time at a nearby golf
course while three rented
industrial robots churn out
tens of thousands of plastic
toy parts a day in his
unmanned backyard factory.

“It is marvellous. I have
increased my productivity in
the factory and reduced my
golf handicap to 11 since I

and rented the three robots

rise from wines, spirits and soft drinks
was struck, despite an estimated 10 per
cent fall in spirits sales, and further
improvement is expected in the second

and rented the three robots
last ApriL” Mr Iguchi
explains as he enters the 150
sq yd shed behind his
Japanese home in Katsushi¬
ka, a suburb of northern
Tokyo.

The young Japanese
.entrepreneur says that he
used to employ three workers
| in the neighbourhood to man
automatic plastic moulding
machines which produce 18
parts of a plastic stop watch
for a major toy manufac¬
turer.

The workers had to remove
the parts from the moulding
machine, cut off surplus
strips or plastic and pack the
parts in cardboard cartons.
These were then shipped to
the contractor.

Hr Iguchi says he decided
to investigate the possibility
of installing robots in the
small garden shed earlier this
year when he could no longer
obtain * reliable workers
nearby.

“There were many . prob¬
lems. Employees would quit
without notice and my wage
bill was rising beyond a

Air Iguchi before a hard day on the golf course

reasonable level. In the past I
was paying each of my three
employees 180,000 yen (£425)
a month,” He says.

“1 am renting each robot
for 38,000 yen (£90) a month
from a robot leasing compa¬
ny. They don’t complain, I
don’t have to provide them
with tea and they can work in
the dark. The robots are
more accurate and the qual¬
ity of the finished product is
better.”

The sporting businessman
says that when he first
pursued the idea of purchas¬
ing robots he was told each
would cost 2 million Yen
(£5,000). “When I told the
manufacturer that the sum
was too high they referred
me to a robot leasing compa¬
ny which had recently been

for med to help the cottage
industry and small business¬
men” he explains.

Experts inspected his fac¬
tory and three robots were
modified to replace the

human workers. The decision
changed Mr Iguchi’s life.

Each morning he turns on
the beaters of the plastic
moulding machine at 7 am,
then has breakfast while the
unit warms up. He fills the
storage bins on top of the
automatic moulder with raw
plastic granules and places
large cardboard boxes under
the arms of the three robots.
The robots are switched on
and Mr Iguchi leaves for the
golf course.

The robots continue to
drop 18 parts into the boxes
every 24 seconds.

His wife removes the three
boxes of finished parts and
replaces them with empty
cartons every six hours.
“Besides a bit of mainten¬
ance that is all 1 have to do to
keep the factory running 14
hours a day,” he says.

The robots have been
programmed to remove sur-

S lus strips from the parts and
rop the scrap into separate
containers. Scrap plastic is

then processed in another
machine and recycled into
granules again. The robots
can be reprogrammed to
handle other products.

The factory produces
35,000 parts a day — enough
over a month to produce
100,000 toy watches. Mr
Iguchi claims he makes about
the equivalent of 3.5p profit
every 24 seconds while he
tries to improve his golf
handicap on a nearby fair¬
way.

“I intend to do a lot of
skiing this winter,” he adds.
Like Mr lauchi many of
Japan's small businessmen
and backyard family factor¬
ies are beginning to rent
efficient automated equip¬
ment from the newly formed
Japan Robot Leasing Compa¬
ny, formed by 24 leading
robot manufacturers and
financed by the Development
Bank of Japan and commer¬
cial banks.

In one case the owner of a
small garage factory, who

has a sub-contract to weld
brackets for a large car
manufacturer, has dispensed
with four casual workers and
has installed four welding
robots at the back of the
house.

He now runs a Sashimi
(raw fish) shop at the front
of his house while the robots
continue to weld car parts in
the back garage.

“We buy the robots from
the manufacturers and lease
them out to small entrepre¬
neurs,” says Mr Shinichi
Matsu da, president of the
leasing company. “Our cli¬
ents are small or medium size
companies which do not want
to invest or purchase robots
which will become obsolete
in five years. They prefer to
rent them at the moment.
They also want the robots
because there is a shortage
of labour. It means that
skilled workers can move
onto other jobs while robots
take over dangerous and
boring jobs.”

The huge drop in manufac¬
turing output — down by
more than a sixth since
spring 1979 — has been the
most striking feature of the
recession. But in-the debate
about the Government’s
macroeconomic policies of
the past two years, we often
lose sight of the fact that the
decline in manufacturing is
not new.

It bhs been a persistent
feature of the last eight
years. In the mid-1970s it was
identified by left and right as
one of the country’s prime
economic problems. Many
theories were put forward to
explain why it was happen¬
ing.

if we are' to understand
what is going on and what we
ought to ao about it, we
ought to look again at some
longer term' explanations
winch have been put forward
for what is going on' in the
industrial sector.

' There are five main explana
turns of what has been happen-'
ing which we should consider.

One is that the problems
have been caused by stupid
economic policies by the
Government, which drove up
the exchange rate through
high interest rates, .indited -
big pay rises by its tax policy
and deflated the domestic
economy by cutting its bor¬
rowing requirement.

Then there is the North
Sea explanation, first put
forward by Kay and Forsyth,
which says that North Sea oil

automatically causes a con¬
traction in manufacturing
output.

A third explanation is that
of Bacon and Eltis, that
growth of the public sector
has led to contraction of
manufacturing. The fourth is.
what is usually called the.
“New Cambridge” ex¬
planation, chat growing im¬
ports eat up the British
market and that conventional
solutions, such as devalu¬
ation, will not stop this. Only
import controls can meet the
challenge under this scen¬
ario.

The fifth explanation is
really the mirror image of.
the first. It says that contrac¬
tion in manufacturing is . a
sign that the Government’s
policies have, at great cost,
worked. Useless capacity
which had been outdated by
the 1973 oil shock has at last
been removed and the indus¬
trial Sector has become more
efficient in response to
competition.

As an explanation of what
has happened in the past two
years, the Bacon and Eltis
explanation does not work.
They argued that the signs of
the deindustrialisation of
Britain was the shift of
workers from the trading-to
the public sector. By
preempting resources the
Government was effectively
“crowding out” the private
sector. Yet public employ¬
ment has not risen in the past
two years; it has fallen.

Business Diary: At the sign of the black horse

The million jobs lost in
.manufacturing have iiot been
to the benefit of extra public
service jobs; they have
resulted in an increase in
unemployment. Bacon and
Eltis themselves warned that
what was needed was not to
cut the public sector but to
boost the trading sector.

They wrote: “There would
be the certainty of disaster if
a Conservative pro-market
sector government came to
power and just sat back,
balanced the budget and let
unemployment mount wait¬
ing for the market to solve
its problems.”

What about the idea that
North Sea .oil has made a
decline in manufacturing
output inevitable. The argu¬
ment rests on the fact that
we export to pay for our
imports. As we no longer
have to pay,for imports of
oil, we can import more of
other things and export less
of our own manufactures.
The manufacturing sector
will therefore decline.

As a long term_ explanation
this seems unsatisfactory. It
is true that the share of
manufacturing in our
national output would fall in
those circumstances. But
that is no reason why the
absolute level should go
down.

What we ongfat to expect,
unless the domestic economy
was at full capacity, would be
that manufacturing would
take a smaller share of a

McMeekin, I should ex¬

biggest name in ladies’
branded hosiery, selling
about 130 million pairs of

larger whole, but would not
actually contract.

Oddly enough this inade¬
quate explanation fits well in
one respect with the experi¬
ence of the past two years.
One consequence of North
Sea oil was to make sterling a
more attractive currency.
Supporters of the theory
could "argue that the pound
went up in 1979 and 1980
because investors realized
that Britain would get
improving benefits to the
balance of payments until
1985.

Yet the movements of the
pound in 1981 hardly bear
out the theory. When British
interest rates were below
world levels in the summer,
the pound fell. Now that our
interest rates are once again
high, sterling is strengthen¬
ing. This points strongly to
the conclusion that the
appreciation of the pound in
1980 owed more to British
monetary policies than to a
structural shift in the balance
of payments.

What about the “New
Cambridge” school of
thought which ties deindus¬
trialisation to rising imports?
The problem here is that
imports were falling at the
same time that manufactur¬
ing went through the floor.
As Sir Alec Cairncross poin¬
ted out, without accepting
the Cambridge diagnosis of
what should be done their
definition of what deindus¬
trialisation means has a lot to
commend it. But over the
past two years, it does not fit
as a description of what has
been happening.

That leaves us with the
following, rather depressing,
conclusion. Much of the
decline in manufacturing
industry in the past two
years is unrelated to the
structural problems it faced
in the early and mid-1970s,
whichever version of the
various analyses of those
problems you subscribe to.

We are left with options
one and five. Either the
Government is to blame
through bad economic poli¬
cies or it is to be praised for
catching up with economic

reality.

Either way, the implication
is that the manufacturing
cann ot come back without a
reversal of the policies and
its disappearance has been
caused by the policies.

Whether the Government
was right to do what it did or
not is something we can only
tell in time; though if it was,
it ought to be saying that the
future lies with the growth of
services, not telling workers
to accept low pay settlements
to hang on to jobs in
manufacturing.-

But it is a strange irony
that a government whose
election owed so much to a
feeling that manufacturing
had been treated too badly
should have presided over
the greatest industrial re¬
cession this century.

FINANCIAL NEWS AND MARKET REPORTS

Stock Markets

Sellers depress equities

Sellers gained the upper
hand yesterday as the rest of
the market nervously awaited
the outcome of the Chancel¬
lor’s economic package
today.

Equities drifted through¬
out the day, mainly on lack
of interest as investors
postponed their next move
until the details of the
package could be analysed.
The FT Index closed 7.0
lower at 530.8, after being 7.9
down at midday.

Tn gilts, profit-taking was
also the key word, with still
no sign of a cut in domestic
interest rates and the latest
money supply figures in the
US proving worse than
expected. The tight con¬
ditions in the money market
were also a reason for selling
by the big institutions with
losses of up to Z l U in longs
and £'/* in shorts reported at
the close.

Blue chips reflected the
nervous conditions. ICI lost
6p to 290p, Reecham 5p to
2I6p, Glaxo 8p to 420p,
Unilever 7p to 613p Bowater

Brown also fell 3p to 78p
after a seller of 5m shares
was reported earlier in the
week.

Properties bad a day of
mixed fortunes, turning shar¬
ply easier after confirmation
of the widely expected £27m
rights issue from Gt Port
land, down 6p at 184p.

ground, falling 12p to 657p,
amid suggestions that it may

public.

The Hongkong trading
house Hutchison Whampoa is
reverting to original plans to
make Harbour Engineering a
wholly owned subsidiary by

I Discussions with Hong¬

HWL’s 78.37 per cent stake in
Harbour Engineering have
ended with the two sides
unable to agree terms.

In June, HWL announced
its intention to buy out the

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 2 1981

In India and Australia a day on whiGh theJiome countries’ bowlers delivered thfe knockotft blows. - •' -v""'-'-

England’s hopes go up in Bombay smoke

From Richard Screetoa
Bombay, Dec 1

India gained a ihnroucbly
deserved victory in the first Test
match here today alter England’s
second innings came close to
being a debacle. Some marvel¬
lously sustained pace bowling by
Kapil Dev and Madan Lai, who
each took five wickets, brought
India a remarkable triumph by
13& runs with almost nine hours
to spare.

England, needing 241 witb time
no object, collapsed 10 42 for five
after an hour on an awkward
pitch and were finally dismissed
lor 102 . A .succession of fire¬
crackers thrown on to the field
and rhe ceaseless roars of en¬
couragement from the 50.000
crowd made it an occasion when
Test _ cricket reverted tn the
frenzied atmosphere of Roman
circus.

There can be no question that
England batted poorly, showing
little spirit and toss technical
application than expected. Under¬
wood and Willis, the tenth-wicket
pair, shared the largest stand of
the innings and. needed far more
prising out than the recognized
batsmen. The wicket had Inst
some of its earlier bounce but the

ball did keep. dreadfully Jow at
one end.

It was, frankly, not a good
pitch for a five-day Test and k
proved a good toss for Gavaskar
to have won. Even so It was
disheartening for England to be
routed bv two medium-fast
bowlers, the type they arc sup¬
posed to play so well. No one
attempted a sweep and Dos hi
bowled only one over just before
the end; rbere were no umpiring
controversies. One way and
another the pattern was almost
inexplicable and certainly un¬
expected.

Kapil Dev bowled with great
hostility for a man who went into
the match with a suspect hack.
He obtained lift and movement
and removed Gooch. Tatare and
Gower in his first‘four overs at
a cost of only 17 runs, by when
England's challenge, was snuffed
out. As an all-rounder he is the
rndlan equivalent of Botham In
his approach and in rhe way he Is
always in a match with bat or ball.

The form of the 50-year-old
Madan Lai was more of a revela¬
tion. Recalled after a four-year
absence from Tesi cricket, he
benefited from the end where the
ball often kept low. but his
accuracy and perseverance had
tn be admired. At lunch, when
England were 57 for six from 15
overs. Madan Lai’s analysis was
7—4—-8—3. with Boycott. Fletcher
and Emburey bis victims.

England's innings lasted 128
minutes and only just escaped
being their lowest against India ;
they scored 101 at the Oval in
1971 when Chandrasekhar was the
wrecker. Their previous lowest lit
India was 1S9 at Madras In 1972-
73 when Bedi and Prasanna each
took four wickets.

England-now have a threc-dav
match against a strong South
Zone side at Hyderabad next
weekend before thev go into the
second Test at Bangalore on
December 9. Not surprisingly the
Indian selectors have announced
an unchanged 12 for that match.
Fletcher said he was conscious
he faced his hardest task as cap¬
tain to lift his side's morale and
ensure that nobody became down¬
hearted.

Nothing which happened first
thin" prepared anyone for Eng¬
land’s inent showing later. Madan
Lai and Doshi. India’s last two
batsmen, added a further 24 runs
In 35 minutes before India were
all out far 227. Both played
straight and pushed forward con¬
fidently to Willis and Botham,
who finally bowled Doshi.

England had more than 10
hours to score the runs and we
resigned ourselves to a routine
new ball spell from Kapil Dev
and Madan Lai before Doshi and
-Shastri. the two left-arm spin¬
ners. were brought on to decide
matters one way or rhe other. A
dramatic start, however, altered
the thinking. Gooch and Bovcmt
each rook a single from KapU
Dev's first two balls. Gooch

played and missed at the third
ball and did the same to the
fourth, which left him late; be
got the thinnest of edges and
was caught by Kinnani. Tbe
Indian wicketkeeper bas shaved
bis head ro mark a pilgrimage to
Mecca since English crowds last
saw him, but he is as sound a
wicketkeeper as ever.

When TavarA with little move¬
ment of his feet pushed forward
and edged a low catch to second
slip from the second bail of Kapil
Dev’s second over, veteran Eng¬
land watchers knew the writing
was on the wall. The first fire¬
crackers. leaving a pall of smoke
each time they were thrown on to
the field, and the crowd erupted
as one.

Goiver bore the look of casual
impermanence that so worries ids
admirers. He played some good
strokes off bis legs but flirted
like everyone else outside tbe
off stump and was almost caught
at leg slip on one occasion From
a glance. It was not altogether

a surprise when Gower was leg-
before to Kapil Dev with tbe
total 28. The ball came back Into
him sharply as be offered, no
stroke add it struck .him fairly
bigh on the leg.

Boycott bad watched these dis¬
asters impassively at the other
cad, applying himself to strict
defence when he had tbe bawling,
but there was little he could do
against the ball that dismissed
him. Madan Lai, bnrly and smil¬
ing, got one to keep low add
break back and Boycott was plumb
in front. Two overs later Madan
Lai did something similar to
Fletcher, though the England cap¬
tain was much further on his back
foot.

Botham began with a couple of
edged strokes, but a four past
cover on the back foot, which took
England to 50 in the thirteenth
over, was a magnificent stroke.
Emburey, who had already given a
sharp chance to point off KapU
Dev, was out in Madan Lai’s next

over. He stretched forward defen-,
sively and was caught at second
slip. Madan Lai had claimed three
for one in 20 balls.

An uppish cover driven four by
Botham off Kapil Dev took him to
19 and meant he bad passed 2,000
runs In test cricket and joined
Benaod. and Sobers as the only'
men in Test history.to pass 2,000
runs and 200 wickets. Normally it
would have been a celebratory
occasion, but nobody (n the- Eng¬
lish camp could find the heart to
cheer. It -remains, of course, a
remarkable feat by Botham, who
is only just 26 and playing in bis
forty-second Test match. Botham
had taken five, wickets in an in¬
nings for the eighteenth rime when
he finished off the Indian innings
(nine u> the match)

After lunch Botham on-drove
Kapil Dev for a superb -six, but
the next .ball lifted and was . hit
into wide mid-offs hands: Madan
Lai beat Taylor’s defensive prod
in the next over, Dllley bravely

swung Kapil Dev .for two fours,
but Madan Lai knocked down bis
middle stump arid. England’s Jast
wicket pair were launched on .
their ' defiant last gesture.
Although the bowlers were haw
tired, the way Willis and Under¬
wood defended with strict text,
book correctness and - pulled,-
glance and pushed.- runs when,
they could was commendable.
Willis was finally .caught behind',
off Kapil Dev and lingered-for a
moment at the wicket in disbelief -
as the Indian team raced for the
pavilion through a crescendo of
noise' and firecrackers. • *

The celebrations continued long
after the man of the match
awards had been presented. One*
of Kapil Dev's prizes as overall
man of the match was a. motor
cycle and this was triumphantly
ridden round, the out. field by
Shastri. Gavaskar, the Indian cap¬
tain. had the nets erected and
took, some practice, an ominous
dedication to -English- onlookers.

Football

An ugly encounter of the close kind

By Stuart Jones
Football Correspondent
West Ham 0 West Bromwich 1
Familiarity, they say, breeds
contempt West Ham United
and West Bromwicb Albion
met for the fourth mme in 74
days last night and the resuk
was that, although West Brom¬
wich won this third round

League Cup tie at the third
attempt and will now visit
Crystal Palace next week,
football itself was an ugly
loser.

It is not often that that hap¬
pens at Upton Park. Nor, for
that matter, are West Ham
iften beaten at home. The last
time it happened in the
League was 17 months ago, on
the opening dav of last season
when Luton Town were the
victors of a second division
fixture.

West Bromwich, as in the
first replay last week, could
not even hope to match their
opponents for invention but
they do have a ruggedly deter¬
mined outfit and a disciplined
svstem that negated West
Ham's undoubted superiority.
They have, afrer all. yet to be
defeated in any of the four
encounters sn far this season.

Their ploy was simple : Jol
took Brooking, they filled mid-
field—the area that West Ham
use to store their artists—with
a host of black-and-whnre-
striped magpies chasing one
precious object, and they
ebony muscle, to win it for
them on fa is own. None of his
colleagues ever bothered to
trouble Parkes until the tie
had been decided.

West Ham lost Cross with an
Injured knee after 20 minutes
and it was immediateW after bis
departure that the ebullient Regis
came dose to putting West Brom-

Which in front, as they bad been
In their previous two cup jncet-

^Ith Bonds a°d Martin sup¬
remely confident in defence. West
Ham's attack was limited by
Statham’s domination of their
one winger. Neighbour. Their
frustration grew'and so did West
Bromwich's aggression and the
tempers that had been slowly
rising exploded a minute before
the interval.

Allen. Cross's replacement,
retaliated to Brown's fierce chal¬
lenge and both were booked and
then subsequently seat off.
Earlier the name of 'Batson and
later that of Jol were also
by the referee.

Brown’s influence bad been
negligible and West Bromwich
in the end benefited from his
absence, although it was their
young goalkeeper. Grew, that
kept them in the contest as he
had done twice previously. He
made three remarkable flying
saves, particularly from a volley
by Neighbour, a powerful header
from Martin and a dose-range
effort from Devonshire before
the winner arrived 10 minutes
from time.

Grew was also forced to
watch anxiously—on one occa¬
sion he crossed himself—as the
wispy Devonshire, allowed even
more freedom than usual, polled
West Bromwich’s massed defence
first one way and then the other
to set up cbances

Mackenzie, who had been
straggling in Devonshire’s wake
all evening, was rewarded for ins -
efforts by putting Regis away for
the decisive goal. His pass floated
over Martin’s shoulder and Regis,
fast becoming an England World
up prospect, this time used all
of his awesome power'to beat
Parkes and fulfil bis lonesome
task.

Liverpool make light of Kennedy dismissal

By Nicholas Harling

Arsenal 0 Liverpool 0

Arsenal and Liverpool have
bad some stirring cup battles but
this was not one of them. Their
League Cup fourth-round tie at
Highbury last night left no endur-
lag memories, just a nasty one,
which was the sending-off of Ray
Kennedy, the Liverpool midfield
player, after an incident in the
forteth minute involving Peter
Nicholas.

Kennedy’s dismissal, his second
of Hie sensen, left Liverpool with
only 10 men for the last 50
minutes but with so much ex¬
perience behind them of rear¬
guard actions on the continent,
the European champions were
able to force next Tuesday’s re¬
play at Anficld without too many
alarms.

Playing against his old club
Kennedy was quietly making his
presence felt when he appeared

to jab an elbow into the face of
Nicholas, who collapsed. In his
defence before being shown the
red card, Kennedy pointed to his
left knee, which was presumably
where the previous tackle by
Nicholas had left its mark.

There was little else of passion
In the match which seemed to he
heading towards its predictable
way after only five minutes. By
then the ball had already been
replaced, the original one prov¬
ing too soft. With the new one
neither side displayed any in¬
clination to be more adventurous.
Space was at a premium in mid-
field, which was filled ac the
slightest threat by retreating’ for¬
wards, acting as reinforcement. If
one player of either side got free,
an opponent invariably appeared
to negate the danger.

The first corner took 18 minutes
coming, and from McDermott's
kick, Dalglish produced the first

goalbonnd effort, a header which
Jennings tipped over.

Arsenal's reply -was promising,
Sunderland putting the ball Into
the net, only to be given offside
and then having Grobbelaar plunge
at his feet after their most inspired
move. Rix then came nearer to
hitting the clock than the goal
from a free kick as thing * reverted
to normal.

After Kennedy bad blotted his
copybook for his retaliation, which
was incidentally a repat of his
earlier offence against Aston Villa
In September, the height of Liver¬
pool’s ambitions seemed to be to
bring Arsenal back to Anfleld.
Despite their numerical disadvan¬
tage they succeeded In making
midfield look as congested as it
bad been before. Whelan having
dropped back to leave-Rush on a-
lone, unavailing forward patrol.

Nicholas, clearly not Liverpool’s
favourite person in the second

half, almost did his popnlarlty
more harm by supplying the cross
from which Rix almost beat Grob
belaar, who bad come too far from
his goal, not for the-first time
Under pressure at rhe other end
Nicholas then headed feebly out to
Soulless, whose shot was off target.

Xd an attempt to break the
deadlock Arsenal then Introduced
Hauldn but in taking off
McDermott, they left themselves
without a player capable of float
log over the Ugh centres
required by the big striker. There
was to be no dividend for
Arsenal's second largest crowd
of tbe season.

The latest bad
news for
Bond and City

By Norman Fox

Trevor Francis’s long struggle
with a succession of injuries con¬
tinues today when he enters
hospital for a manipulative
operation on thigh damage. The
Manchester City and England
forward has made only seven
appearances since leaving Not¬
tingham Forest for £lm 13 weeks
ago.

The operation costs him
another appearance. against
Barnsley in a League Cup fourth-
round tic tonight, and probably
another against the champions,
Aston Villa at Maine Road on
Saturday. John Bond, City’s
manager, said: " Yon have to
live with injuries, but they seem
to go on and on. It destroys all
you are trying to do.”

Frauds suffered a knee injury
In his fourth match for City and
missed eight games. He re¬
appeared three games ago but
bun his thigh in training. Tbe
injury Is not considered to be
serious but Ciry badly need to
sec him fully fit. In the eight
matches without him they scored
only four goals. They scored IS
when he appeared in seven
games.

Tonight Francis is replaced by
Boyer who has himself known the
frustration of several injuries.
Tucart has a heel injury and
Caton Is also in doubt because
ol calf muscle damage so Mr Bond
leaves bis team selection until
(relay. Barnsley, who have played
impressive football this season,
hope thar one of their forwards,
Parker, passes a fitness test on
an Injured ankle.

D’Avray, a South African for¬
ward who scored against City on
Saturday, is retained in the lp-
swik.lt Town team for their third
round replay at Bradford City.

Armstrong provides vital
element in Watf ord punch

By John Clemison

Watford 4 QP Rangers 1

Watford escaped from the pos¬
sibility of a League Cup replay
on artificial turf by scoring four
goals at Vicarage Road last night,
and progress to the quarter finals
of the competition for the third
time in tbe last four years.

Watford’s organization at tbe
back, brought about principally
through the vigilance of Rice and
Pritchett effectively took the
sting out of Rangers’ attack and
provided the base for Jacket!
and Blissett to tease the visiting
defence.

Taylor had plenty of time to
control the pace of Watford’s
game and Bolton and Terry timed
their passes to perfection to give
the strikers that extra yard of
room.

If Watford bad a fault, it was in
their finishing. They spent an
agonising first half hour pump¬
ing the ball into the Rangers
penalty area to little or no effect
and even after Taylor broke tbe
stalemate with a 30-yard shot,
there was little doubt that the
home side needed more punch op
fbom.

That vital ingredient was pro¬
vided by the substitution of
Armstrong for Barnes at half¬
time. Though Barnes bod pro¬
vided width to the Watford
attack, he was limping at the
start of the game and was further
crippled by a tackle from behind
by Fenwick, for which the
Rangers man was booked.

The virtue of having a striker
who can snap up half chances
came ten minutes after the break.
Bhssctt's shot from the edge of
tile area cannoned off the cross¬
bar in front of the goal. Arm¬
strong was perfectly placed on
die six-yard line to ram tbe ball
into the net.

Blissett accepted Jacketfs well-
timed pass on the halfway line,
outpaced the defence over 40
yards and sidefooted die ball
past Burridge for the third.

Rangers looked weak in de¬
fence. Howe lacked authority and
on several occasions he felt tbe
pressure of Jenkins and Arm¬
strong and had to resort to nod¬
ding the ball out of play rather
than attempting to distribute it

Nevertheless. Rangers did pro¬
duce a handful of well-conceived
movements, notably when Stain-
rod and Scaly were linking.

Rangers pulled one goal back
ten minutes from time when
Teiry bandied in the area and
Stainrod beat Sherwood with his
penalty kick.

Two minutes from the end,
however,- Watford made it 4—1,
when Callaghan’s run set Taylor
up for his second goal.

Dundee United played them¬
selves into a winning position in
the Uefa Cup third round First leg
tie in Belgium tonight. The
highly proficient Scots completed
an eventful evening with the re¬
sult they wanted to take back for
next midweek’s return on Tayside.

Before the kick off United had
lodged a protes t to tbe Uefa
ruling body after the Swiss re¬
feree’s decision to allow the tie
to go ahead on a highly
questionable waterlogged surface.

Throughout the 90 minutes
United contrived many more
chances than the home side. Un¬
fortunately their finishing did not
match their approach work.

Do’s and
don’tsfor
hooligans

By Norman Fox •

Exploratory talks intended' to
stop hooliganism by British sup¬
porters at the World .Cup is
Spain next year ended last cV»t
with tiie .Minister for Sport,
NesI Macfahlane, offering tbe
“minority*' of.troublemakers a
pamphlet on “ Do’s and don’ts ”

before they travel..

Despite the record of England
and Scotland supporters, the
minister insisted that " 99-9 per
cent of tbe British fans going
abroad wifi be weft behaved
He cautioned tbe others 'that the
methods of Control by Continental
authorities' were *.* in &frric con¬
trast to-our. own ”.

Doubts about the. ability of one
British . travel • company with
official' access to tickets/ Sports-
werki, to cope with -the hooligan
e’ement bave not yet -been over¬
come. Mr Macfartane said be
would be looking closely at the
distribution of tickets, and die
plans of tour operators..

Tbe confiscating of passports,
winch- was suggested, last week
by tbe chairman of the Foot¬
ball Association, Bert Mill!chip,
was again dismissed. Mr
Macfarlane said: “ It is not nart
of our way of Bfe- If people have
passports, they are free to-travel.

. He - agreed to -increase tbe
consular staff at the venues Ja
Spain where British teams had
matches and said liaison officers
would be established similar 1 to
those used by British clubs in
European competition.- • These
officers ” • usually liaise
between the club and the local
authorities who are given esti¬
mates of the numbers of
supporters expected to travel and
their movements.

-Mr Macfarlahe said: ** I think
these measures will have an
effect, but a great deal depends
on how. the minority regard the
efforts likely to be-made by the
authorities - £n Spam and also in
France if they travel overland.”

He said that Government
officials would visit Spain early
in the New Year when tiie World
Cup draw - was ’ made. Ted
Croker, the secretary of the Foot¬
ball Association, saidr ** The
Minister’s pains are in line with
what we wanted. It looks as if
we are going to get what we
hoped, for l

Tbe problems of cheap aluohol
and the segregating of. crowds
were also discussed. M r
Macfarlane said he hoped FIFA,
the international governing body
of football, would look closely at
the segregating of those who
arrived without tickets. Large
□umbers of British spectators are
expected to go to Spain and buy
tickets at the gates.

In the town where football has

roared tiie- -fourth-- division' -up¬

splendid fighting -finish. They
reserved their.jeers and catcalls
for die Football League' cham¬

equalizer, a last-minute goal aim
drearBy. negative tactics..

The - expected *. Nottingham
Forest old boys reunion of
Wigan’s player-manager, ' Lloyd,
and' the Villa centre forward
Withe, .did . not materialize, be
cause Lloyd was injured. The
experienced Bradd took
place-

-• After nine mi Bates- the whole
of the Springfield park, crowd,
except those from the'Midlands,
leapt into tiie air as. one man.
Quinn glanced the baa through to
Houghton, who was in oceans of
space. A first division striker
could not • have bettered Ms
measured shot, w&cb curled over
^nri - beyond- Rimnxer. .Pandemon-,
itun ensued for several minutes
and It was Houghton again who'
held-: off three ,VHla defenders
with a 40-yard run .and cross.

'Villa, as so ofteu in these
battles, played with none of the
composure and. the skill expected
of champions. Even when Swain,
Shaw and -Cowans worked a idee
move, Cowautfs shot was.nearer
the corner flag, titan tbe goal
Morley, despite Jhs elusiveness,
pur a shot 15 yards over the
top and then another effort a
similar distance wide a a Villa
were plainly rattled by Wigan ’s
tough tackles and uncompromis¬
ing offside trap.

Turks bad. to .make his .first
real save after 37 minutes when
Morley at last found .the target
with a fierce, low drive. When
Shaw robbed Bradd, Tunics made
a splendid save from Withe-
Half-time arrived to a frenzied
roar from the crowd, who under¬
standably sensed that tbe s calp
of Villa might yet hang along¬
side that of Chelsea. .. •

- Ron Saunders must' have had
strong words with bis -side at
half-time, since for 20min they
Showed a sense - of purpose
more in keeping, with 'their
status. -Bremner put a, careful
shot well wide. Tanks held a
With* header, and Swain’s teas¬
ing cross just eluded Shaw
/The equalizer came in tiie most
unsatisfactory way. .- Cowans
served Shaw with a lovely
chtoagfi pass and as Tunis dived
at his feet, Shaw poshed the ball
past him and dived . spectacu¬
larly. There may have been
contact with Tanks, but Shaw
made, a meal of it and-the thun¬
derous boos continued, long after
Cowans had dispatched the.
penalty kick. ■ ••• •.

The last quarter of an hour
belonged to Wigan, as tbe cham¬
pions resorted to time wasting
and passes to the goalkeeper. It
was a rank injustice, heart-break¬
ing. for Wigan, .when Methyen’s
slip presented the ball to Evans
and Withe put the ball past this
gallant Tanks at the second
attempt.

By David Hands
Pontypridd 3 Australians $

:An, pecasiott foe which Ponty¬
pridd have waited 1(15 yean
deserved a better game than this,
la perfect conditions at Sardis .
Road yesterday, Pontypridd, in
their first game against a leading
touring side* lost by two penally,
goals -to one, which is a narrow
enough difference in all con¬
science. ' but one which- they
seldom -looked -likely to bridge.'

It was a scruffy gantik- typital
perhaps of a touring side whose
mind is on-higher.things ; in this
instance Saturday’s game against
Wales. -In those circumstances,
any tour management is happy to
see the ride'come.through with¬
out- Injuries and ..with -another
scalp under, the belt, thobgh it -
Is only the second game in which'
this Australian side has failed to
score a try. (the first was against
the. Norm era Division in the

third game).

On the credit side, the.form. of-,
the flanker, Lucas, and the hard
work of tbe two locks will have
pleased Sir iUcbblas . Shehadie.
the Australian manager. Roche
had another game bristling with
vim but it was Lucas who was
the "more constructive player. Tt
was not • bis fruit that his col¬
leagues' failed to make headway
against a club'side in which two
more ‘ flankers, Shellard and
Jones, stodd out.

SheUard, swift to seize on any-'
thing loose, disrupted tiie Austra¬
lian : lineouc- and maintained
constant pressure oa the tourists'
midfield. Despite his attentions,
however, Mark HUa gave a: much
more decisive p e rf ormance than
some he has offered on tour, an
advertisement' perhaps tor .the
benefits ■ of ftuoSy life.: his
parents Sew into Britain with an.'
Australian supporters’ party
yesterday morning.

In addition, Mark Ella kicked
tiie two penalties' which-won tiie
game, both of them gifts by any¬
one’s standards. Be had already
missed frith'a nose too difficult
tighter, but made no mistake
from- 12 and 15 metres respec¬
tively." ■ . V

The first came after offside by
Pontypridd - after Loane - bad
driven os from a ruck; the
second when the home backs
stood'offside at a maul. Together
they overhauled tiie penalty
kicked by Hodgldnson after Cox.
a. shade harshly, was penalized;
for a late tackle on Flynn.

-■ Pontypridd, in their original
selection, 'had given notice that -

. they intendcd'tb offer an attackng
game but they were seldom m a
position to do so. Most of toe

E tne they spent inside titei,- ov.q
I f and they consistently foiled
in their lino kicking from mcii
penalties that came their wav.

-It is this matter of penalties
which has plagued the Australians
throughout the tour: the? die
away far too many on technical*,
ties* and the Welsh captain,'
Gareth -Davies, will- punish them
if it-happens again in Cardiff
oii Saturday,

Committed as they became front
the -ongoing nervous seconds to a-
whpienearted and. It should be
added, exceptionally suecssfui de¬
fence—whatever their original In¬
tentions—Pontypridd rarely gained'
attacking 'momentum, save at the
start 61 tbe second half.

. Jones reinforced his backs, there
was a charge round tbe blind-side
by Tfewtand which captivated the
crowd. With the Australians show¬
ing an unwanted propensity for
losing the ball id the tackle, there
were local hopes of at least getting
on-terms:-

The try line,, however, remained
as remote a sight.as it has tor all
Welsh sides who have played die
Australians and it was only good
covering by Cartwright that pre¬
vented Cox from scoring midway
through the second half, -after
Lucas had moved the ball swiftly
from a ruck.

Australia’s best chance of a try
had-come in the opening minutes
when Slack cut through with sup¬
port-outside him but was brought
down just short of the line and
penalized for trying to squirm
over. Both sides had to make dn
with some desperately poor ban,
yet it was always tiie Australians
who kept the driving-sear, even if
the'ride was distinctly bunvpv.

Auckland, Dec 2

With thousands lining cllfftops,
harbour wails and urber vantage
points and many more in spec¬
tator craft, greeting the leaders
in the Round Ihc World race,
Auckland gained an unofficial

public holiday yesterday.

Flyer was the first to receive
this rousing welcome shortly
after dawn, wben the 76-foot
Dutch sloop, skippered by
Cornells van Rietschotcn,
crossed the line to set a new
record for the 7,100-miIc voyage
from Cape Town of 30 days 4
hours 27 minutes.

Eight hours later it was
Ceramco New Zealand’s turn to
run the gauntlet rlirough hun¬
dreds more spectator craft in
Waitcmau harbour to lead on
handicap. Both yachts suffered
considerable damage during the
race through the Southern
Ocean, with blown-out sails and
breaking sheets

Davis is favourite to
stay the distance

By Sydney Friskin

Steve Davis, the world title
holder, frees a strong challenge
today from Jimmy White in rhe
semi-final round of -fire United
Kingdom championship, spon¬
sored by Coral, at tbe Guild Hall.
Preston. Davis won this title last
year to begin a sequence of five
triumphs which, by the eod of
September this year, brought bis
winners’ eantings to £65,000.

Few matches in the Preston
event can have aroused as much
interest as today's meeting
between these two young Lon¬
doners ; Davis is aged 23 and
White 19. Barely a month ago
White beat Davis In the final of
the Northern Ireland classic in
Belfast. He had earlier beaten
Davis os the way to winning the
Scottish Masters title In Glasgow.

For Davis, however, the.best
is probably yet to be although, be
had two successive century breaks
in his second round match against
Willie Thome. His 9—5 win over
Bill Werbeniuk was doc particu¬
larly inspiring. But in comparison
to White his play remains more
cons stent and more refined.

White, bv virtue of his achieve¬
ments, looks more tnatchworthy.
In toe first round he defeated
John Virgo, the winner of the
UK tide In 1979. In tiie second
round be eliminated die Irish
champion. Dennis Taylor, and In
the quarter-final round, beat tiie
six times world champion, Sar
Reardon, in a thrilling fi nis h
9—8.

For tiie second time In about
a month Reardon had a costly
miss on the last red of a deciding
frame. At Reading in the final of

tbe world team championship he
could bave cleared the table but
he missed the last, red and lert
it on for Davis, who went on to
win tbe match and the title for
England.

White’s new coiffure has altered
bis general appearance. Bis style
of play, too, has changed as he
has curbed his impetuosity and
given more thought to tactics and
safety ploys. He has flair but win
need to match Davis for con¬
centration in today’s 17-frame
match. The distance must favour
Davis.

In the lower half of the draw
Terry Griffiths, world champion.
In 1979 who has yet to win the
United Kingdom title, reached tbe
semi-final- round on Monday night
with a 9—5 win over Tony
Knowles, of Bolton, another rising
young player. Griffiths found, his
best form in the twelfth frame to
compile a brilliant break of 131
-Which ended when the black
hovered over one of tiie corner
pockets.

The highest break for the
championship Is 139 By Graham
Miles but Griffiths is ill line for
the prize Of £1,000 offered for the
highest break in the current tour¬
nament. having beaten the pre¬
vious best jointly achieved by
Davis. Kirk Stevens and Alex
Higgins. Griffiths’ victory has
brought bis odds down to 9-2 as
second favourite behind 2-1 on
Davis, Jimmy White 5-1, Higgins
7-1

A bridge too far

By Roy McKelvie
The two leading pairs were in

Australians, Wayne Davies and
Lachlan Denchar, out-bit the

for David Cull and David John¬

and John Ward, the only ama¬
teur tens remaining.

Ronaidson and Dean were
more aggressive and possessed a

Johnson who, tidy players tlioujh
they are, had few punishing
strokes. The winning strokes,
heavily-punched volleys, forces
tor tiie winning openings off the

came mostly from Ronaidson and

Dean although the former did
sometimes appear casual. Johnson,
when given, the chance, found the

Miss Wood’s repejtoipe is more

By John Hennessy_

Three events are included la
the British figure, skating
championships, - sponsored by
Multi Broadcast, at Richmond
roday and tomorrow, but one,
the women 1 * championship,
occupies nearly all the attention.

Jt presents two fascinating
competitions in one, a tussle for
the title between Karen 1 Wood
(Dceside) and Debbie CorrriU.
once of Solihull; 'but now trained
In Lake Placid. New York, and
a scramble for die bronze medal
with the glittering prospect of a
place In the British world*'
championship team in Copen¬
hagen In March;

Miss Cottrfll won the British
title three years ago at 16 , bar
was surprisingly dislodged in I960
by Karena Richardson, now a
professional, and. Just as
surprisingly, was beaten last year
by Miss Wood. On both
occasions international competi¬
tion was later to show that
domestic resulcuwere no reliable -
guide, particularly under the .new
scoring system.

Miss Cottrfll, whose career
has been plagued with injury,
was our of action for the whole
of last summer because, of foot
ailments, one of which required
surgery. Her free skating may"
therefore be suspect, parrfculariy
as her right foot Is not fully
healed. She should win tbe
figure section, worth 30 per
cent of the marks, and possibly
the short programme. (20 per
cent), but she will be vulnerable.

to counter-attack .by .the.' cjjaui- -
pion in the free, worth 50 per
cent but die deciding factor Jn-
the event.of a tie. . :

Miss Wood, also 19, seemed
the more . confident of - the two-'
in practice yesterday, and her
reperroire is the more extensive, .
with five triple jumps, the toe
loop (twice), loop, salchow and
lun. The triple lutz, - a highly .
advanced exercise, so. far eludes
Miss CottrfU,' now trained hy
Emmerich Panzer, former world -
champion for Austria,

International competition last-,
year offered the further curiosity
In addition to the reversal .of. '
British farm, of Miss CotmU’s
sixth place in Europe and fourth
in the world. This allows ns three
places in ■ Copenhagen, but only'
two in the European in Lyons;

Christopher Howartb, who has
followed Ids trainer, . David
Clements, from Richmond to San
Diego, and Susan* Garland, who
has made the reverse transatlantic
crossing, from Wilmington, Dela-.
ware, to Solihull, should retain,
the men's and pairs trophies. Miss
Garland, -however, left her part¬
ner. and is JJOW paired

with Ian Jenkins, last year’s
runner-up with Dawn Packer,
What matters is not so much the
fact as the manner of their -
winning.

After the compulsory figures .
and short , programme today (7
am and 3 pm), the free skating
will be held tomorrow night (730
pm), augmented by exhibitions

Miss Cottrill: her free skat¬
ing may be suspect.

It is 1902 and Madge Syers is tbe tram of the century

Women’s Lib gets its skates on

By Dennis Bird

As figure skaters from all over
Britain converge on Richmond Ice
Rink for the national champion¬
ships today and tomorrow It Is
worth noting that tills winter
marks the centenary of the birth
of the first winner of the tingles
title. She was a determined,
vivacious and popular girl who,
under her married name of Madge
Syers, was also the first Olympic
champion in women's skating.

To mark the occasion she has
just been posthumously elected
to the United States Figure Skat¬
ing Association's Hall of Fame in
their museum at Colorado Springs
and a commemorative plaque Is to
he presented to her niece, Mrs
Kathleen Lankester, during this
week’s British championships.

Mrs Syers was born Florence
Madeleine Cave, one of 15 child¬
ren if Edward Jarvis Cave. She
took up Ice skating when she was
15 in the mid-lS90$ and with her
sister, Beatrice, competed in
waltzing competitions. Beatrice,
who lived until 1971 when she was
92, was Mrs Lankester’s mother.

Madge Cave became expert in
the English stvle of skating, which
included evolutions in formation
hv mixed teams of four; in 18*19
she was one of C. Ernest Bell's
team which won the Challenge
Shield, the premier award of the
National Skating Association-
About this time she met the man
who was to change her skating
style and her life.

He was Edear M. W. Syers
(1863-1946)1. 18 years her senior.
He was an all-round winter sports¬
man who in 1903 Was founder and
first president of the Ski Club of
Great Britain. Himself a former
English-style skater, he had been.
Impressed in Switzerland by the
freedom of movement of the new

International style—the kind of
figure skating made familiar today
by 'John Carry and Robin Cousins
—and be learnt to perform it.

Back in London, he took the
18-year-old Madge as hie pnpD and
paraer, taught her the compul-
' sory figures and free skating, and
with her won the NSA’s first
pair skating competition in 1899.
Next year they were second in
an international pairs event in
Berlin and on June 23, 1900 they
were married in Paddington.

In 1302 the world figure skating
championship was held in London
and Madge made it the occasion
for a startling and unprecedented
c halleng e to the male dominance
. of the sport. When the.,Interna¬
tional Skating Union' founded
their championships in the 1890s
no one thought it necessary-to.
state that they were for meh
only ; It was unthinkable in those
days that women should attempt
the athletic leaps and physically
demanding .spins of international-
style free skating.

However, the unthinkable often
happens- Madge was accustomed
to skating with and against men
in the English styles i she did
not see why. international events
should be any different. So seven
decades before women’s libera¬
tion, she sent in her entry form.
The ISU were aghast but there
was no rule to prevent her com¬
peting.. Ulrich. Salchow, of
Sweden, retained his world title
but Mrs Syers beat several men
and finished second.

After that she - was rarely
beaten. When the NSA established
their 'Own championship 'In the
new style she became British
title holder in 1903 and 1304.
beating her husband on the sec¬
ond occasion. A separate inter¬
national event for women Cater

the world championship) was
instituted in 1906 at Davos; Mrs
Syers won and successfully de¬
fended in 1907 In Vienna.

In 1908 In London she reached
the peak of her career. She be-
- came the first Olympic gold
medallist in women's figure skat¬
ing and with Edgar was third in
the pairs. Thereafter she gave up
.competitive skating and concen
trated- on her other sporting
interests. She was a keen clay-
pigeon shooter and a swimmer:
she won the. Royal Life-Saving
Society’s diving contests at High-
gate In 1911 and 191Z. She loved
dogs and -horses and was an
ardent member of the Society for
'the Protection of Birds.

When the First' World War
broke out there were few oppor¬
tunities for wealthy society ladies
like Mrs Syers to take an active
part in the war effort but she did
what she could. She qualified far
the British Red Cross Society’*
.first-aid certificate, like many
other women who wanted to 8
a hand as auxiliaries In .hospitals
for wounded soldiers.

She was soon to need medical
,aid herself. On. August 22, 1917
.she gave birth prematurely to
daughter, Josephine, who lived
only 12 hours. Eighteen days
later on. September 9 Mrs Syers
herself died of heart failure after
the complications of childbirth..

So passed at -the age 'of only
35 Britain’s first world and
Olympic skating champion, of
whom one journal wrote-in 1911:
“ She is in a class by herself. . - -
;Her skating seems to he one of
those perfectly beautiful"tlntagi
which appeal almost as much to
the emotions as to be - the
senses.”

Spectre of the
800 bhp
petrol guzzler

By John Blunsden

The forbidding prospect of
800 bhp grand prix cars consum¬
ing no much fuel that they have
to stop for a complete refill half¬
way through a race is a possibility
under the current formula one
rule, according to Keith Dock-
worth, chairman of Co* worth
Engineering and designer of the
Furd DFV grand prix engine.

Mr Duckworth, an outspoken
advocate of a change in formula
which would put the accent of
success on fuel efficiency rather
than on power regardless of the
cost, was speaking at a reception
in London yesterday when a panel
headed by Prince Michael of Kent
announced that for the second
time he was to receive the
Fcrodo Trophy for the outstand¬
ing Commonwealth contribution
to the sport during the year.

Mr Duckworth first took the
award in 1967, when his ihree-
Htre engine first appeared. At
the time he gave it a potential
useful life-span of two to three
years, yet in its fourteenth year it
lias powered the winner of eight
of this season’s 15 grand prix as
well as the cars of the new world
champion driver and contractor,
and its DFX derivative has won
the Indianapolis 500 race
Next year, which could well
see the 150th grand prix success
far the engine which has been
the most stabilizing influence on
formula one racing during the
past decade and a half, may well
mark its swan-song a* a competi¬
tive power unit.

“ In October 1980, when agree¬
ment was reached to reduce the
fuel capacity of grand prix cars
and to ban refuelling from 1983,
li looked as though we would
rtlll have a chance against the
fuel-thirsty turbos," Mr Duck¬
worth said. ** But last April, as
part of the Concord Agreement,
Ferrari slipped in a last-minute
rule change when most of- the
other teams were preoccupied

Cycling

Belgians may
dominate
first stage

By John Wiicockson

In the.past-two years, the Sea*
tihk International Yus started in
The Netherlands and France but
in 1982 its 468 miles route begins
at Ostend in Belgium with a short
time trial prologue on April 19.
The finish,, as usual, will be .In
Manchester the following Satur¬
day.

A difficult opening awaits the
field of 60 amateurs, which is
expected to Include teams repre¬
senting all the countries served
by Sealink ferries. The Belgians
will be particularly keen to do
well on the first stage proper,
which starts and > finishes In
Ostend and covers 70 miles in the
classic cycle racing terrain of
West Flanders. One high point
of rids stage wfU- be the steep,
cobbled climb of the Kenund-
berg. an obstacle in many classic
Belgian events.

- After the. stage, the teams,
officials and race journalists will
be taken by forty to Dover and
by road to an overnight stop in
Folkestone. On 'April 21, the
riders will be faced by their long¬
est day of 121 miles split into
two separate races. The Erst of
71 miles, will take them across
Kent to Gravesend ; the second,
after a lunchtime drive through
the Hartford tunnel, will be a 50-
mile sprint- across Essex, from
Basildon ta Harlow.

The organizers have not in¬
cluded a team time trial,'which
proved an unpopular inclusion in
this year's event, therefore a more
closely - fought finish ~ is likely
than the 1 one dominated by
Czechoslovakia and East Germany
lasr April."

The penultimate stage of .93
miles from Peterborough to Shef¬
field’a Norfolk Park could prove
decisive, -but a more conclusive
result-is ejected oti the final-73
miles to Manchester. This stage
traces an, intricate route through.
the F£hk District, including toe
infamous Cat and Fiddle Pass.

Rugby League .

Great Britain
at full

strength at last

By Keith Macklin
For the first time In nine inter¬
national matches., the Great
Britain managers, Colin Hutton
and John WWteley, are able to
announce that the team to play
France at Hull next Sunday is
unchanged from the original
selection. In all previous games
under tbe management pair.
Great Britain, Great - Britain
Under-24 and England teams have
bad to be chopped and changed,
often at the last minute, through
injuries..

There was tbe usual- scare
before yesterday's announcement
of a clean bill of health. David
Ward, the Leeds hooker who will
captain Great Britain, had missed
last Sunday’s league game at
Wigan and there were fears that
hi* badly bruised chest would not
stand up to rigorous examination.
However. Ward passed a fitness
test and will lead the Great
Britain team in the first of the
two internationals against France.

The most interesting aspect of
the side in the new-look half¬
back . pairing. Hartley, the free-
scoring Hull Kingston Rovers
stand-off half, Is -paired with the
lively new Widnes scrum half,
Gregory, in a volatile, untried
and potentially . match-winning
partnership behind _ the scrum.
Tbe Great Britain.team is:

A victorious O’Neill
has all the answers

By Midiael- Seely .. - -

John O’Neill., rode back Ip
triumph to tbe unsaddling en¬
closure after winning the Vaux
Breweries ^Novices. Steeplechase
qualifier on Realt Na Nona at
Wether by yesterday. .The. smile of
happiness - on ■ the' - 29-year-old
Irishman’s face was matched by
the delighted shoots of supporters-
which greeted O’Neill after his
13-month absence from the track.
The crowd' of 3,000‘wpi '50 -per '
cent up on last year.

He came' up to the'press room 1
afterwards to. answer a myriad
questions. *’ How did It feel ? ”
we asked. *• Brilliant ”, - he
replied.- “ There are no words to
describe tbe thrill.”

The sheer joy of-living and of
having been Ha action once" again
shone from the former cham¬
pion's eyes. O’Neill exudes that
-inner feeling of contentment- that
only springs- from a man at peace
with himself and- with a- happy
family behind Mm. Both the
jockey’s wife, Sheila, and Ms two
and a half-year-old daughter were
there to welcome Mm back.

Not that O’Neill lacks devil¬
ment, as those who have watched
this human tornado ihxrilng his
horses at the fences can testify.
“TUce it easy? Not -on your
life ”, be said. “ I’m a free lance
and will ride for anyone who asks
me." Jr is obviously too late in
Che season for him, to become a.
contender for ids third champion¬
ship. But Jcihn -Francome and
Peter Scudamore had better look
to their laurel*-next season.

O’Neil] confessed to - having
felt a little puffed after finishing
unplaced on Billy Kip, his first
of four mounts' during the day.

“ After that I was fine. Not, a
twinge of pain /rom my leg: And
I was able to kick as hard "as I
liked." He wears a protective
pad between his shin-guard and
Iris leg; but O’Netfl has finished
with Ms specialist until be goes
for a check-up In three months’

tinu»

Realt Na 'Nona had- sprinted-
away from. Daajill. after, jumping
tbe last fence to win py two
lengths. But .die mart had become
a little outpaced approaching tbe
final bead! ,r Ybn have to'sit'ajiii
suffer on, her, as she likes, to do
things __hor .own. way ’’", O'Neill
said. ■ ■ • 1 *

Petef * Eastprby, • - the- trainer,-

Prlvasejy the-' champion 7trainer .
raves; about O'Neal, ..but Ms-
guard. .was up when.he was IntezS
viewed for tbe local television;
■“ -Ye*. X Suppose-1 did miss -him.'
Wiry ? Because he’s a good
jockey. In fact he's, the hfestith'ere
is he admitted in a rare
moment of candour.

' .This-afternoon O’Neill has four
mounts booked, at Ayr, where hls-
besr chance'of -winning is pro-'
bably on the consistent Hot
Pretence in the second division
of the Lagg Novices' Hurdle.-The

Fairy King not fallen at
the last fence and is some¬
thing wrong with the. two new
fences In the home straight ?
the Press Association 'reports,
the fences,-built this season, are-
causing concern after being re¬
sponsible for numerous horse
and jockgy casualties yesterday
and at previous Huntingdon'
meeting*.

. Before Fairy King fell, when
just ahead of. Wayward Lad,
there were eight casualties at
the two fences fri 'the. Tetw'orth
Novices Steeplechase, -including
Bassxrimoor,. who broke his back
and was destroyed; The cleric of
the course, Hugo Sevan, said :

“ No' jockeys have complained to.
me, but I am going to . look into
the situation very closely. A lot-
of horses seem to crumple on
landing ■*.

1Man's best' friend: O'Neill and Realt Na Nona can enjoy
a horse laugh.

‘Faceless’
man of
the sales is
unmasked

By Michael Phillips
Racing Correspondent
Hardly a year goes by withnut
a new buyer of interest emerging
daring Tatters all's December

sales ac Newmarket. This Year is
no exception, even though the
auctioneer saw fit to remark
*’ whoever they happen to be"
after he had knocked down a
mare to an unfamiliar face repre¬
senting International Thorough¬
bred Breeders Incorporated.

In the future, auctioneers are
unlikely to be quite so cheeky,
because the man who made that
successful bid was Kcrrv Fitr-
pairick, wbo may be an increas¬
ingly familiar figure in the big
sale houses of the world. Mr
Fitzpatrick is the president and
cMer executive of ITS. thought
to be the first public company set
up to deal in bloodstock,
primarily in the buying of marcs
and shares in stallions.

The company, based midway
between New York and
Philadelphia, receives a daily-
quotation in the U'eU Sovct
Journal . and has been in exis¬
tence for only 13 months, but
already it has assets valued at
Sl8m and nearly 10,000 share¬
holders flocked to buv shares
when thev were put on the market
at a dollar a time on April 1.
Before this week began those
assets already included 50 mares
and the same number of shares in
top-class stallions. Mr Fitzpatrick
has wasted little time in adding to
them by shelling out nearly
£500,000 on Monday and yester¬
day buying seven lots.

An American with no Irish
blood in his vein-:, despite his
name. Mr Fitzpatrick, aged 41. is
the driving force behind 1TB. but
be concedes that tnc whole
operation would never have got
off the ground without the finan¬
cial and moral backing of Robert
Brennan, who is widely regarded
in the United States, as one of the
most dynamic financiers on Wall
Street. Mr Fitzpatrick himself is
not exactly short on monetary
know-how. haring grown un in
the banking world, but his heart
has always been with horses.

He copied the idea of manag¬
ing syndicates from a fellow
American, Cothran Campbell, six
years ago before he finally de¬
rided to take the plunge and set
up his present company 13
months ago. Yesterday he
explained that the tax laws in the
United States put companies and
Individuals at a considerable
advantage over their counterparts
In this country. Because of those
advantages his company has
leased two thirds of the mares
it owns to investors, raking in 2 n
per cent of the mares overall
value and netting almost 54m in a
relatively short time.

ITB were the biggest individual
buyers at the recent breeding
stocks sale in Lexington Ken¬

tucky conducted bv Fasig-
Tipton. Their purchases there
included the 1978 1000 Guineas
winner. Enstone Spark, who was
in foal to our Derby winner

Roberto. Only last week Fitz¬
patrick paid 300,000 Irish guineas
at Goffs for Hardiemma, whose
son Shirley Heights won the
Derby and the Irish Derby in the
same year that Enstone Spark
scored her great triumph. Hardi-
enuna was in foal to Great

Nephew, the sire of, amongst
others, Grundy and Shergar.

The dsty’s top price of 220,OOn
guineas was for Moravie. bv
Northern Dancer and a three-
part sister to Dancing Maid,

another high dass filly. Moravie
was bought for the Cardiff stud
in California by Richard Gal pin.
chairman of the Newmarket
Bloodstock Agency.

Kelleway fined
over drug

A breakdown in communica¬
tions between the Newmarket
trainer, Paul Kelleway, and race¬
course officials led to Kelleway
being fined £400 at a Jockey Club
inquiry in London yesterday. A
urine sample taken from Ribo
Charter after he finished second
at Lingfield Park in May con¬
tained Lignocmine, an anaesthetic
drug.

The Jockey Club's disciplinary’
committee were told that Ribo
Charter had arrived at tfae race¬
course stables at Ungfield the
evening before the race. The
horse injured his nose In the
stabl and while being treated he
was injected with a local
anaesthetic . by the racecourse
veterinary surgeon. However,
Kelleway said thar the veterinary
surgeon did not tell him the horse
bad been given the injection until
the jockeys had mounted in the
parade ring moments before tbe
race.

Kelleway, aged 41, explained
after yesterday’s inquiry: “ Ribo
Charter cut his nose in the
stables the evening before the
race, and as the horse is hard to
deal with the racecourse veter¬
inary surgeon gave him an
anaesthetic while tbe wound was
treated.

Call for marathon
registration

and fee system

By Norman For
A thletics Correspondent
Chris Brasher, the race director
of the London Marathon,
suggested yesterday that British
athletics should take advantage
of the huge financial potential of
the event. Over £200.000 has
been returned to runners who
cannot be accepted for next
year's race on Sunday, May 9. .

Mr Brasher said: " we are
wasting an opportunity we have
never bad before. We have great
-athletes like Coe and Ovett, but
lack decent facilities. I would like
to sec a registration system for
everyone who wants to enter a
marathon, with a fee to be paid
into the sport every year."

Be explained that at the
moment only a pound from each
runner in the London Marathon
not attached to a club went into
athletics, amounting to between
£8,000 and £10,000. Entry forms
for next year were sent out to
90,000 applicants from all over

Badminton

Mrs Gilks withdraws

Gillian Gilks, unhappy at being
seeded No 3, has withdrawn from
the English national champion-
shops at Coventry from December
11 to 13. She claimed in a letter
to the Badminton Association that
it would seriously affect her
commercial interests.

Mrs Gilks was expected to
defend the singles title she bad
won eight times previously. She
was in the easier half of the draw
and still had an excellent chance
of reaching the final. Mrs GDks
was expected to play the unseeded
Karen Bridge, of Surrey, in the
quarter-finals and then the No 2
seed, Jane Webster, of Suffolk,
in the semi-finals.

Tennis

Miss Allen loses
to Mrs Cawley
and her support

Melbourne, Dec 1.—Evonne
Cawley, of Australia, making her
third comeback, beat Leslie Allen,
of the United States, in the second
round of the Australian Open here
today.

Mrs Cawley, the former Wim¬
bledon champion, who has
returned to the game after the
birth of her second child, fought
back from 4—2 down In the final
sot to gain a 5—7, 6—3, 6—4
victory.

Miss Allen later criticized me
crowd who. in their overwhelming
support for Mrs Cawley, regularly
clapped the American’s errors.
The nnseeded Miss Allen, who was
dose to tears at a press confer¬
ence afterwards, said : ** 1 could
tell how many mistakes 1 made
by the way the crowd applauded.
If T hit a winner there was a
whisper of an ovation

Mrs Cawley said she was stightTv
embarrassed by the applause. “ I
feel for the other player, but on
the other hand I am at home and
it’s great that they are behind
me ”, the eighth seed added.

Book review

Consequently, Mrs Gilks. who
said she would still compete in
the doubles, may be In trouble
again with the England badminton
authorities. A spokesman said
yesterday that she was in breach
of regulations by withdrawing
from the championships without
good reason.

Mrs Gills said : “ I considered
it an insult to be ranked outside
the top two. Tbat is why I pulled
out. I am ranked No 1 in the
country, the defending champion, ,
and have won the title eight times-
There 1$ no one else in the cham¬
pionship who has ever won the
title, so I cannot see the justifica¬
tion for seeding me as they have
done.”

Bournemouth
saved by
sponsors

The British ' hard court cham¬
pionships at Bournemouth have
been saved by a new three-year
agreement with the sponsors.
State Express. But there will
be no women’s tournament.

The future of the champion¬
ships, once among the most im¬
portant tournaments in the in¬
ternational tennis calendar, has
been in doubt. Now, the Lawn
Tennis Association have agreed
that the 1982 championships,
staged at Bournemouth from
April 20 to 25, will cany prize
money of £55,555 and have a
new title—the State Express
Tennis Classic. It will • be a
part of the Volvo grand prix
circuit and have 32 competitors
in singles and doubles. The LTA
hope to stage a women’s tonrna-
moot at a different venue daring
the same week.

Jim Cochrane, the LTA chair¬
man, said: “ We have to face
the cold reality that we cannot
return to the days when all the
leading lady tennis players in the
world graced the coons at
Bournemouth. We have had long
discussions with the Women’s
Tennis Association but can come
to no agreement. Consequently
and regretably we have had to
drop the women’s events from
the programme.”

Bournemouth is to stage an
“ over 35 ” event for men. This
has already attracted entries from
Die Nastase and the former
American Davis Cup player
Charlie Pasarell. Mr Cochrane
said he was delighted that the
new agreement with the sponsors
would give the LTA the oppor¬
tunity to rebuild the tournament
and get it back to its " former
gloiy days *’.

Stroll down Memory Lane
with a furious driver

By Tcrcr Ryde

Pat Wjrd-Thomas, for manv
years golf correspondent of
The Guardian and still writing
oil a low handicap fur Country
Life, has produced an autobiog¬
raphy (.Vor Only Golf, Hoddcr
and Stoughton, £7.95) covering
the time from the day when he
parachuted from a Wellington
hnmhcr over the Netherlands
until the time, some 40 years
later, when he came to earth
among the pheasants in a corner
of Norfolk.

In the years between the author
-mingled with the exalted in the
world of golf, enabling him tn
throw uncommon light on the
heroes of the game in the period
broadly covered by the Big
Three—Palmer, Player, and
Nicklaus. One might be tempted
to describe the hook as a pleasant
srroll down Memory Lane, were
not strolling too leisurely a word
for one who has turned away so
many hours in airport lounges
and driven so many frenzied
miles towards the next destitu¬
tion.

Car-park attendants throughout
the world, and not a few waiters,
would fail to appreciate the truth
of Alistair Cooke’s reference to
the author's " unfailing geniality
to roan ..." Anything that im¬
peded his progress roused bis
fury. He reserved a specially
strong brand of it for inanimate
objects—mislaid sun glasses, the
car in front, those crazy stamp
machines to be found in
American hotel lobbies (he nearly
had one up by its roots in
Cleveland).

Such impatience might he
attributed to the years spent be¬
hind barbed wire, but deprivation
of that kind is more likely to
accentuate qualities already im¬
planted. I prefer to think that
his sense of urgency arose from
a deep concern for, and love of,
his job. He gave It everything.
A fiery nature, an eye fnr
beauty, a poem: streak—the last
two characteristics come over

strongly is bis writing—probably
owe as much to the Welsh Mood
in him as to anything else.

What the prison camp gave
him, the book suggests, was the
chance to develop Ids passion
for sport. His account of golf in
Stalag Luft 111, which has become
a minor classic of its kind, pro¬
vides a powerful lead-in to bis
later years. He has also derived
moch pleasure from cricket, and
these two aspects of Ms career j
arc reasons for giving the book |
the name that he has, even
though his devotion to golf ins
been absolute.

There is another reason. The
title owes something to the style
io which (he book Is written. He
is not concerned in It with run of
play. He turns the pages of
memory lightly and comes pp
with agreeable accounts, written
in mellifluous language, of meet¬
ing nice people in nice places. He
has made friends with bis heroes
and introduces the reader with a
light touch to their circle.

Perhaps more than any of Ms
contemporaries he has felt the
irritations of a journalist’s daily
routine, bur his writing does not
show that, what comes through
In the book, rather. Is the sound,
when work is flafshed, of ice
tinkling in a glass enjoyed on a
verandah with a view, and the
asides, heard only by him, of
those who played principal roles
in the golfing dramas of the last
quarter of a century.

Teeing off in Tunisia

The leading professional golfers
of Britain and Ireland should com¬
pete in the £60,000 Tunisian
Open championship, which begins
the next European golf season
from April 15 to 18. This assur¬
ance was given to the Professiona l
Golfers Association officials over
the weekend daring planning
meetings at the El Kantaoul
course.

2 9.25 pm>

• Prison justice is the subject of
tonight's STRANGEWAYS (BSC 2
8.20 pm), lari, a prisoner in the
notorious D1 punishment landing,
accuses a prison warder of
brutality following an argument
between them after Ian had
collected his meal. That the
argument look place ienot in
doubt but whet followed is
disputed, tt is no light decision for
a prisoner to accuse a warder of
wrongdoing because if he' loses
his appeal he stands to lose his
remission and have six months
added to his'sentence. '

The programme reveals Ian's •
reaction to the enquiry results in
an extraordinarily tense cUmax.

• The pleasant COLLECTING
NOW programme (BBC 2 7.50 pm)
tonight comes to the end of its
twelve-week run with one of its
items on something that has been
designated aerotraclofogy. This
rather forbidding word describes

CHOICE''.;

the collecting of propaganda
leaflets dropped by air. Millions of
them were despatched to Britain
and Germany during World War
Two and the collector, Reginald
Auckland, shows us some
examples —- Churchill. Wanted for
Murder and The German people
offer Peace — are but two. This
type of psychology is still being
used today in places aster apart .
as Chile and Taiwan. The
presenter. Harriet Crawley, with
Gwyn Richards and Penny Junor
go on an optimistic buying spree
wfth just £5 each. What sort of
. collectables can be bought for foat
amount? Well. Harriet finds a new
T-sturt to add to her international
collection; Gwyn buys some
intriguing photographs and Penny
some old toys. It has been an

entertaining series. I hope there
will be another.

• SEA TO THE WEST. FELLS TO
THE EAST (Radio 4 8.15 pm) is a
description of Copeland, a little
known part of the Lake District.
David Mfies has compiled a
number of recordings illustrating
the essence of the area through
the eyes and voices ot various
Cumbrian characters. We learn
from a farmer about the odd habits
of Hardwick steep; the miniature
scenic railway is described in
loving fashion by a train driver;
typical Cumbrian recipes are
explained by a farmer's wife and
an iron ore worker gives his
reaction to the dose re of the local
mines. Among the places we visit
is Egremont Crab Fair and we
eavesdrop on a competition lo find
the biggest Her. In addition,

Norman Nicholson, Copeland's
very own poet, regales us with his
thoughts on tins beautiful part of
the country.

Thatcher backs
shake-up for
NHS finance

By Annabel Ferritnan, Health Services Correspondent

. Government plans to con¬
sider an insurance-based health
service provoked both strong
support and bitter hostility
inside and outside Parliament
yesterday.

A Government working
party is now drawing up a
policy _ document outlining
alternative methods of financ¬
ing the health service, which is
SO per cent paid for out of
taxation.

hlr William Hamilton,
Labour MP for Fife Central,
said that any attempt to
change the present health ser¬
vice would provoke a revolu-
tjonaiv situation hut Mrs
Thatcher, the Prime Minister,
at_ Commons Question Time,
said “the principle that
adequate health care should be
provided for all, regardless of
their ability to pay ”, would be

protected.

The working party is near¬
ins the end of its work. Three
options are emerging for the
Government to consider but
in no-sense are they recom¬
mendations :

□ A system based on the
French and German model
where payment of a basic
insurance premium to the
equivalent of a friendly
society is compulsory to pro¬
vide a basic level of care, but
which can then be topped up
by taking out additional insur¬
ance with private companies.

□ A system giving the right
to opt our and not pay any
premium at all. When the
time came for medical treat¬
ment, the patient would have
to pay the bill himself.

□ A continuation of the
present_ tax-hased system with
a considerable expansion of
the private sector, and tax
relief for insurance premiums.

It is understood that the
Government will assess the
options and draw up proposals,
which might form the basis of
the next manifesto.

Private medical companies
and the British Medical Asso¬
ciation welcomed the fact that
the Government was con¬
sidering alternative financing
■ methods while the trade
unions and die National
Health Service Consultants’
Association condemned the
move.

Both groups agreed, how¬
ever, that the present adminis¬
trative costs of the health
service, which now stand at
between 3 and 6 per cent,
would increase. The French
and Genua n insurance-based

systems cost about 10-12 per
cent to administer and the
United States system costs 21
per cent.

The Government came to
office co mmit ted to looking at
alternative methods of finan¬
cing the health service in
order to try to increase die
percentage of gross national
product spent on health and
to improve the service.

Two civil servants, Miss
Joan Firth and Mr Jeremy

Hurst, visited Europe and
North America respectively at
the beginning of mis year to
study die svstems used there.

On July 30, .the Government
announced chat ir was setting
up a working party to look at
the result of their work and

to report by -the beginning of
1982. Consisting predomi¬
nantly of civil servants, it had
two independent advisers : Mr
Michael Lee, of Lee Donaldson
Associates, a consultant econ¬
omist, and Mr Hugh El well,
an independent consultant on
■health care, connected to
Private Patients’ Plan, die
country’s second largest medi¬
cal insurance company.

Mr Anthony Grab ham, chair¬
man of council at the British
Medical Association, said it
was “right and proper” that
the Government should be
exploring alternative methods
of financing the health service
and the BMA itself had a work¬
ing party doing the same tiling.

The association strongly sup¬
ported the health service in its
present form, however, and
felt that any new methods
would have to be as efficient
at collecting the funds as was
the present method.

Dr David Gullicfe, executive
medical adviser of the British
United Provident Association
(BUPA), said that he favoured
a change over to an insurance-
based system because he
thought people appreciated
what they paid for and were
less inclined to waste it.

A TUC spokesman said it
was "implacably opposed” to
an insurance-based system.
Such a scheme was heavily
bureaucratic because it would
involve endless chasing of
bills.

It would also make it diffi¬
cult _ to implement preventive
medicine because doctors were
paid for medical procedures
rather than giving advice. It
often led to a rapid increase
in unnecessary operations, as
in the United States where a
third of all women had had
their wombs removed.

f U ® d to w j dk r ° l V? d the mner cirdc oF Stonehenge every Tuesday how that a rope barrier, put up
three years ago to prevent vandalism and erosion of stones, is being taken down once a week for three months. It
was blamed for contributing to a fall of a quarter in the number of visitors to the 2,500-year-old monument.

Colour TY licences rise by £12 to £46

vision licence went up to £46
from midnight last night—an
extra £1 a month on the
present fee oF £34 which has
been in force for two years.

The cost of a monochrome
licence rises from £12 to £15.
an increase that is by tradition
kept low.

Announcing the increases for
a three-year period, Mr
William Whitelaw, Home Sec¬
retary. told the Commons that
new ways were being found of
easing the licence fee burden:
a pilot scheme next summer
for payment by credit card and
in the summer of 1983 a plan
to pay by instalments over pose
office counters.

Sir lan Tret ho wan, director-
general of the BBC, said, ■ We
are sorry not to have got the
£50 we wanted; but one has
to recognize the general econo¬
mic situation against which the
Government took the decision.

“ With £46 over three years,
something that was absolutely
crucial, we will be able to
maintain existing services and
be able to plan for three years
ahead for the first time for
many years.

“ It does mean we will not be
able to do everything we had
planned. We will have to sit
down and work out what we
can afford and our priorities
and that will take a few
weeks

By Kenneth Gosling

He said the increases were a
success for the specially set-up
licence campaign unit, a team
of two men and two women who
return to their normal BBC jobs
after a year explaining the
BBC’s case. “I think the unit

made a difference to the pub¬
lic’s acceptance of the in¬
crease **.

The colour fee increase is 3?
per cent, or about 11.6 per cent
a year over the three-year
period. There are nearly 14 mil .

Bntain moves up three places is the European licence fee
league table, from eleventh to eighth. In the left-hand table,
the figures for Denmark and Holland operate from next
month. All countries except Norway, Sweden, Denmark and
Britain carry advertising on some services supported by the
licence fee. Finland's system is two-tier, the higher amount
payable in two-network regions. Seven countries charge a fee
for radio only. The other table shows licence fees charged
between 1922 and 1979. The' separate fee for radio was
abolished in 1971.

and 14,500,000 black and white.
That is 300,000 more in total
than at the tune of the -last in¬
crease in November 1979. "

The Post Office currently,
deducts about £33m a year for
licence collection, anti-evasion
measures and other services
from the BBC’s total income,
leaving it £500m.

With the increases, the BBC
is expected to -receive an in- 1
come next year of £670m after
deductions. That is still £30m
less than independent tele¬
vision’s net income is expected
to be.

After Mr Whitelaw made his
Commons statement there was
criticism of the fact that no
provision was being made at
present for pensioners to pay
the new fees, although there
was general acceptance of the
licence fee system. _

tion _ spokesman on " Home
Affairs, also drew Mr White-
law’s attention to the situation
of hotels like the Savoy .in
London winch -were charged,
for only one iceriee; he
wanted an extra fee to be
levied to take account of sets

Mr Whitelaw acknowledged
this anomaly and said he was
prepared to consider the best

way of implementing the

What a wealth of pageantry
is conveyed by those simple
wards. Where is the. latter-

justice to such a scene ? (He

was. a strictly non^contrqver-
sial -occasion. All her public
appearances are. Being one of
the most .senior members of
the SDP she. is of course not
allowed, under the British
Constitution, to make known

her political opinions. As a
result of this system, which
has served the nation so well
for almost an entire year, Mrs
Williams and her .friends win
nearly all the elections.

Mrs Williams arrived at the

looking . very . smart. This
meant that she had sacked

Mr Dux Wrigglesworth, the
member for Tnomaby and a
defector to the * SDP. He is-,
presumably the man who puts •
the wriggle in her policies.
